Very refreshing...very fruity...very yummy! Made for ZWT3 - U.S. Beverage Challenge. We don't get orange spice tea here in New Zealand so I mixed and matched spiced and fruit teas I could get and it came out just fine. Thanks, Nick's Mom. (:

This was so refreshing and had a very unique flavor. I doubled the recipe and the first glass I made as directed with half club soda, but I thought it was a little much so my second I only used about a third soda and it was perfect. Very nice change from regular tea. Thanks
