Tricia’s Heavenly Sweet Tea

This is a delicious summer drink. Every time I make this for a gathering, I get all kinds of oohs and ahhs. It’s definitely going to make you think twice about buying bottled tea again.

I was lucky enough to get the recipe from a wonderful gal, Tricia, who goes to my church and it’s one of her family recipes (don’t worry, I got permission to share). I bet after you try it, you’ll find it a recipe worth passing along as well!
