"I had a bunch of limes and used those instead of lemon and this iced tea is just delicious and so refreshing. I like that the tea flavours are still strong, and it's nice and citrusy while not being too sweet. The mint is a nice touch. This is perfect for the hot weather outside. Thanks!"

"This is a lovely refreshing drink. You can indeed taste the tea, mint and citrus juices. I enjoyed this very much. The flavour was outstanding. Perfectly, sweet and tart. I garnished my glasses with thin slices of orange. Thanks so much for sharing."
