I haven't tried this yet, but would just like to say that I hope Diana didn't rate so low because "refined sugar is not good for anybody". There has been little study done on Splenda, and it is recommended the pregnant women avoid it because so little is known about it. I'm rating 5* to hopefully offset a pointless review. Your recipe sounds sounds wonderful. :)

I normally love my water flavored with coffee or tea. This is a nice change and made me smile, which I'm sure will add another wrinkle somewhere.

This is great! I think that substituting half half sugar/spleda is a wonderful idea because, yes, Refined sugar is not good for us, but neither is Splenda and for sure not Aspertame.

why not substitute all the sugar with Splenda, refined sugar is not good for anybody.

This is a super idea for a refreshing drink without all the sugar. I will be making this often and my children all really liked it as well.
