What a most lovely tea! I had just purchased a bag of orange blossoms and was eager to use it. They smell a little like honey, so I used honey to sweeten the tea which was a perfect match. I reduced the sweetener to one teaspoon, though, and that was perfect. Thanks for posting this! Made for ZWT6 NA*ME for the Unrulies Under The Influence.

The touch of orange blossom water is inspired--it gives this good mint tea a very special taste. SO refreshing! Thanks, Dienia!

This was lovely and refreshing. Luckily I had orange blossom water brought back from my holiday in Turkey! I had no idea what to do with it - now I do! Made for ZWT3 '07. Thank you!

This was perfect. I was feeling a little under the weather (tired) from the Holidays and <br/>brewed a mug of this using fresh mint from our garden. First I cut the recipe down to one serving the steeped the green tea with the mint and 1 tablespoon local honey. Stirred in orange blossom water. I can only imagine how good this would taste iced in the summer! Thanks for posting Reviewed for NA*ME Tag January.

We enjoyed this tea very much. As I saw this recipe I knew that this was right now the good moment as I have enough mint. I used a lot of mint (as described in the recipe) and for this use I used a mix of different mint from my garden. As suggested I used orange blossom water as well.<br/>It was really strong tasty, like it has to smell! My huband and my son asked if used honey; It was soo good! Thanks a lot for this suggestion!
