This is wonderful with a nice rich lemon zing! I added a Tazo Passion Tea Bag (Starbucks) cause I like the red color. Just like the tea I had in South Carolina. Great for the cold Canadian winters when you need a reminder that summer does exist.

Mmmmm, delicious. I used Splenda for the sugar and lime in place of lemon (because I had limes) and got a great iced tea that is pure pleasure. It's summer personified :D. Made for Comfort Cafe, Summer 09.
