Delicious! I'm so glad you posted this recipe. I made this last night using lemon juice concentrate vs fresh lemon juice. I have to say that even though it was good last night, it was awesome today after being refrigerated for about 18 hours. I used Sprite as my mixer and am enjoying a glass as I type. The sweet yet tart flavor with a hint of sage is addicting. I suppose if I wanted it less sweet I would try the club soda or even diet Sprite. Thanks for posting Katey I'm sure by tomorrow I'll have another batch simmering.
