Sometimes, the best things in life are naturally dairy-free … like freshly made iced tea on a hot summer’s day. And since today is National Iced Tea Day, I thought it would be a great time to share some fabulous iced tea recipes, including a new twist on tradition, sorghum iced tea with citrus.
The recipe and photo for this sorghum iced tea were shared with us by United Sorghum Checkoff.
