Julie this was wonderful. I absolutely loved it. I have made this everyday this month. Quick, easy and so comforting. I'm not a big fan of green tea, but this way its so easy to drink. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe, which I will use often.

I love this! The mint in this is great.. (I'd only drank green tea once before and didn't think I liked it!!) I used organic green tea bags and followed the packages directions by waiting a minute after the water boiled to add it to the pot with the tea bags and and I steeped it just 3 minutes as the package called for, then I removed the tea bags and steeped for the rest of the time called for in this recipe. I will make this again. Made for RECIPE SWAP #38 - March 2010 Group 2 - Iced Vo Vo's.

A very refreshing tea. I made 2 changes. Added no sugar, since we don't like sweet tea, and used lemon mint from the garden, which added a subtle citrus flavor. I will make again and try spearmint next time. Made for Ramadan 2009 Tag.
