This is very refreshing! It is still so hot here....88% humidity level! Refreshing drinks are a must. This was a welcome addition to the line up. Thanks for sharing!

I like to relate to friends and family over satisfying beverages. I just wish they were more entertaining. Made for Everyday Is A Holiday.

I halved the recipe and enjoyed the juice with the tea. I keep club soda around to add to fruit juices so the tea was a nice addition. Thanks! Made for PRMR game.

We really enjoyed this fruity summery drink. I have never tried adding club soda to a fruity iced tea and it worked beautifully. The only change I made was to add a little more juice after tasting to increase the fruity flavour a little. Thanks for a winner!
