I made this this afternoon; the first over 75 degree day in Ohio in 6-months and it was very nice. I agree with LARavenscroft that the balance of raspberry and tea needs to be adjusted a bit (for my liking) but plan on making it again!

Made for Aus/NZ Make My Recipe #4. This was okay, but didn't have a strong raspberry flavor that I expected. I will make it again, but play with the amounts of tea bags and raspberries.
