  1. Very refreshing, hot or cold. The mint is more prominent cold, the ginger more prominent hot. I'm commenting without stars because I think that there is a typo in the ingredients. When I weighed the 1" piece of ginger I've been using for similar-sized batches of tea in other recipes it was less than 1/2oz. 3oz would be over 6 inches of root -- half a good-sized hand of ginger and that would be an incredibly strong, hot flavor. My 1", <1/2oz piece, crushed, made a nice balance with the other flavors.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
