I think this would have been very good if I hadn't steeped it over the time called for (phone call). I used English Breakfast tea bags and did this on the stove adding additional lemon slices after it was brewed. Made for I Recommend Tag Game - February 2010!

This is great, such a nice, soothing blend. I used green tea with a hint of lemon. Thanks for sharing!

Made for Comfort Cafe - Snow Queen Round, 01/10. This particular tea provided a very interesting blend of flavors for me. Not being a tea-drinker, but always willing to try something new, I'm pleased with this recipe. I may have used a tad more lemon than I needed because the flavor was a bit overwhelming. I would have preferred more cinnamon. But, there is always next time! Thank you so much for a lovely homemade tea delight.

This was a lovely way to end my evening last night. I have made lemon tea before but not with cinnamon. This adds a nice kick to it and a very pleasant aroma. Will make this often BB. Made for my baby in PAC 2009
