I used a green and black jasmine tea and made the concentrate as directed. The sweetness when using 'non-diet' ginger ale along with the ginger was perfect, so I added no additional sugar or honey. I REALLY REALLY liked this tea! I prepped prior to going out to work in my yard for a while before the heat was unbearable, and this was the perfect cooling beverage to reward myself with! The still sparkling, but lightened carbonation made this oh-so-easy to drink. I garnished with a fresh basil leaf and the slight aroma mingled nicely with the ginger each time I took a sip! Thank you for a lovely summer refreshment!
