I almost forgot to review this! I made it at about mid-morning and it just hit the spot perfectly. I very recently picked up a good supple of mint for our ZWT9 trip to Morocco/Tunisia. I used a bit of Splenda and fully enjoyed Morocco's national beverage.

Mine was super minty because I use my David's Tea North African Mint green tea along with the mint leave! I knew I had nice breath after that! Made for ZWT 9.

Yum, I love mint tea and enjoyed it with the green tea. I drank this warm, then added ice to have cold later. Thanks! Made for ZWT 2013.

Wow, was this ever good. I loved it...big bold mint flavor with green tea. It was so easy to make and tastes amazing. I will be making this quick and easy to make treat often. Made as written and wouldn't change a thing for What's on the Menu Tag Game.

I used Tazo brand 'Zen' green tea, unbleached white sugar and fresh spearmint from our garden! This method of brewing tea is identical to the way our friend from UK taught us to make proper English tea about ten years ago! The tea was served in my Fiestaware espresso cups. Made for Zingo/ZWT 9. Thank you!
