We loved this so much. I had a bunch of mint and green tea to use, so made this for us and had a great, great, wonderful taste. I also had an over abundance of lemonade that was frozen. I thawed this lemonade out into the pitcher, reduced the sugar and added the pineapple juice and some ice. The tea, the pineapple the lemon went together perfectly, We will be making this again, very soon, thanks ellie!

A good thirst-quencher. Not too sweet, not too tart. Something you can drink a big glass of on a hot day. But even though I'd made the tea STRONG the flavor seemed faint. The pineapple, green tea, lemon, and mint seemed to joust for dominance without any one succeeding -- leaving the taste buds a bit confused.
