Reviews
I am only 10 and I made this tea for my family dinner. We loved it so much that we are going to make it every night! I also made her Quinoa Pilaf and that was good too. I love this tea so much I have never had any tea that was this good! Can’t wait for the next recipe. Cheers!
Can’t believe there aren’t more reviews for this great recipe. Love would be an understatement for how my boyfriend feels about this tea. I think obsessed would be a more fitting word. He begs me to make it on a weekly basis and consumes a pitcher in no more than 2 days. The tea is light, refreshing, and easy to make. It is unlike any iced tea I have ever tried, not in a strange way but in a new and refreshing way. A great alternative to other teas and coke and also much better for you. The only change I make when preparing is half a cup of sugar as what is listed is not sweet enough once it gets watered down with ice. I think kids would enjoy this tea as well.
Great flavors and quite tasty! Will make again.
