I had a bunch of mint that was about to go waste due to a menu change mid-week. My husband & I really enjoyed this iced tea, it was very simple to make & a pleasure to drink.

Oh, this was so good! Never would have thought to put iced tea with pineapple but it does work well. Cut the recipe in half and served it on a really hot night. Loved the hint of mint. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.

This is very different. One of my partner wanted a recipe for iced tea and I found this one and I decided to try it. For me, it was too sweet. Another time I will omit the sugar or maybe reduce it a lot. But this is very refreshing and a nice taste. Thanks Susie. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

Very nice! I used a combination of spearmint and peppermint. Mildly sweet and tasty! Thanks Susie! Made for ZWT4-Fancy Feinschmeckers!
