  1. The sugar was too much for me,so I cut down the amount to about 2 T. I didn't squeze the tea bag,one of my friends who taught me how to make English tea,said it turns my tea bitter. I liked this combo.
     
  2. Very refreshing beverage, although I cut down the sugar to 1-tablespoon as I felt since I don't drink my tea sweetened normally it would be way too sweet. I also didn't have any fresh oranges so my photo when posted is missing the garnish. Made as a "Bonus" for Veggie 'n Swap tag 9/09.
     
  3. Great refreshing drink! I used 2 tea bags of green pomegranate tea - the drink is not too sweet and the fizz makes it quite festive; I can even imagine it with a bit of vodka ;)
     
  4. The grandkids loved it and I've come to the conclusion that it takes the internet to raise a family. Made for PRMR.
     
  5. I always enjoy iced tea drinks made with OJ and lemon juice and this one is no exception. This is a delicious beverage and we really enjoyed the added club soda "fizz". I used 1 tablespoon Earl Grey loose leaf tea. Made for 1-2-3 Hits.
