I like the texture of these, however I do not like the juice I chose for these. I chose mango nectar and I think the juice was just weird, so the outcome wasnt that great. Im sure this would be great with another kind of juice. I have seen this made with green tea and regular tea before at chinese retaurants, so right now I am brewing up a batch of tea and I guess Ill see how that turns out! I am using 2 cups tea, 7 packets equal sweetener, and 2 teaspoons honey. I left everything else the same as your recipe. Im curious to see the outcome. Thanks for this recipe.
