Tea Brined Turkey with Bourbon and Sweet Tea Glaze
Marinating a turkey in sweet tea brine ensures it will be tender, never dry, with Southern flavor in every bite. Baste it with sweet tea and bourbon to add a crispy layer of flavor on the outside that will keep everyone coming back for more.
Sweet Tea Lemon Pound Cake
As if we need another reason to love sweet tea! But here it is: Lemony pound cake, rich with the iconic, refreshing flavor of iced sweet tea and topped with a freshly squeezed lemon glaze.
Hot Honey Apple Tea
Simmered in a slow cooker, this aromatic tea fills the house with comforting scents of fall. To make it a toddy, replace ¾ cup of the water with ¾ cup of apple-flavored bourbon.
