Mmmmmm. Just to tell you how much I loved this, I just had 1 quart! I used both dry lavender and mint (1 ts lavender and 2 ts mint for each cup of water) and found the aromas were well balanced that way ; that change of proportions is the only reason I am rating this 4 stars and not 5. Even if I usually have a terrible sweet tooth, I didn't sweeten it and it was perfect this way.
