I really enjoyed this chilled herb tea Sonya. I used fresh sage & mint from my garden, a meyer lemon and orange blossom honey. Boy was this excellent. I couldn't ask for anything better, it was ice cold and had a really lovely flavor. Thank you so much for sharing this treat, that I will enjoy often. What a great swap partner you are. :)
