This drink was very taste and refreshing a big hit a my Mother Day with my adult children
Easy and delicious!!! It is such a hit at all my cookouts!! I have to double and triple the recipe…sometimes quadrupole!
This was a very good recipe and easy to make. I squeezed the limes and it was very tasty. Next is to try it without the sugar for the friends who are on diets and can add there own as needed. Looking forward to making more.
This was a nice change from the traditional sweet ice tea which I do still love. I removed the limes before I chilled it in the fridge so the tea wouldn’t have a bitter after taste. I also added more sugar because I am from down south, and we like our tea sweet. But the rum was a nice twist…all my friends love it.
I was excited to make this tea. It was hard to taste the tea and pomegranate which I attribute to the overpowering nature of the limes–maybe a few less limes? It was still a tasty drink. When I make it again, I’ll use at least one less lime and maybe more tea.
A great way to get your serving of pomegranate juice and delicious without the rum. I have been making it “virgin” an it is a great summer beverage.
I made this recipe for a get-together and everyone loved it. This would be a great summertime/pool drink. It was very refreshing and looked great also!!!
I thought the Chica Tea recipe was easy and very refreshing and tasty!I served it with fajitas and bean dip and it was a hit!I like that the recipe makes a pitcher full and can be served to guests right from the container it was made in. I used a margarita pitcher and left in the limes and used alot of ice and it looked as good as it tasted. I think it would also look festive with added orange and lemon slices or even strawberries. I’m looking forward to having it again.
Put this Chica on ice and forget the tea. Awful !!!
