Reviews
I love this drink and make it for company. They always love it too!!
This was insanely sweet the first time i made it. The second time I only added about half of the ginger simple syrup and it tasted just perfect!
My husband is a huge iced tea lover so thought I’d give this a try. I was expecting more of a lighter effervescence, but instead it was extremely sweet and the combination of ingredients gave it a strong “honey” flavor. We didn’t care for it at all.
Super delicious
i forgot to put in the sparkling water, but this was still very very tasty. Please try it and prepare to have one glass after another.
This is such a super tasty iced tea. Just one hint~~ double the recipe ~~it’s that good!!
I have made this many times. It is a favorite in our house. Thanks for the great recipe!
Very refreshing and tasty. I loved it. My daughter, son-in-law and husband, were going crazy while drinking this tea. I am going to make it today again.
Beautiful easy and inspiring! I will rock this in so many ways, thanks!
Just can’t rave about this enough – fantastic! It might be on the sweet side for some, so add about 1/2 the syrup and taste. I ended up adding all the syrup, but added a little more club soda than the recipe called for. My 17 year old Coke-fanatic son loved this. Try it! Thank you, Giada!
