      Made this tonight, even though it is winter here in Australia. I really enjoy iced tea. Straightforward is what it is and it is great. Just how iced tea should be. Definite keeper.

      This iced tea was really very good. I don't make iced tea often so I really didn't know what kind of ratio I was looking for but this did the trick very nicely. I didn't have fresh lemons so I used half the amount of 'fake' lemon juice and it was too much for me but after drinking a glass or two with lots of ice, I added another batch of tea and it was much better. I'm sure I'll be drinking lots more iced tea this year thanks to this recipe.

      Very, very good, Gingerbee. I did cut this down drastically, but don't think I compromised the taste! Did use decaf and Splenda. This will be on hand frequently this summer. Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009.

      Everyone loved this iced tea! I liked how it wasn't overly sweet and had a lot more flavour than store bought brands. I cheated and used bottled lemon juice but it still worked well (Shh!) Thanks! :)

      I was looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth while invoking memories of summer. This is a wonderful tea recipe and I will make it again and again. The only change I made to this was I used 8 Lipton tea bags (was what I had on hand in "bulk") and I used a cup lemon juice in a bottle. We this that I think I'll be making it quite a bit!

      Thankyou for sharing this recipee Gingerbee. I made this for my husband who loves iced tea and usually buys it by the bottle from the shops. I used half sugar & half nutra-sweet - otherwise no other changes were made. Perfection!

      This was excellent, and will be my go-to recipe for ice tea from now on. I used decaff. tea bags, and 20 packages of Equal (each package is equal to 2 tsp. of sugar) instead of the sugar to make it diabetic friendly. I find that I detect an after taste with Splenda, so if a recipe doesn't require cooking, I use Equal. Thank you for this recipe...the proportions are perfect.

      I successfully halved this recipe. It was very good. I never thought to use a recipe for iced tea, but was glad I did. Mine never turns out this well! Used bottled lemon juice, with part lime juice as I ran out of lemon!

      This made a nice tasting tea. Not overly sweet. Thanks Gingerbee. Bullwinkle.

      This was very good. At first I thought this was a bit tart but upon further tasting I really, really liked it. It is very similar to Starbucks sweetend black tea lemonade.

      Really good! For us guys in Europe, 1 gallon equals to 4,5 liters.

      I love lemonade and I like tea. I used decaf tea and must admit I used part bottled lemon juice. It turned out great! Thanks Gingerbee!

      Using Splenda was a great idea. I put the tea bags and water into my spouted jug from Walmart to brew. I then added the Splenda while the tea was still warm to melt. Poured in the lemon juice and also a few lemon slices. Great recipe.

      I made this today. It is hot and steamy here and I wanted a cool drink. This is the first time I have made iced tea. Oh boy. This was absolutely delicious! Very refreshing. I would highly recommend this iced tea.
