This was really good Lorrie. I used loose earl grey tea leaves. I loved the spices and fruit juices in this charming tea. The pineapple gives it a punch and keeps it from getting too sweet and fruity. It was just perfect today for my sore throat, it help to get rid of that scratchy feeling. Thanks so much for sharing a lovely tea, that I will make again.

Wow... this is really delicious. We really loved it and suspect that it will be a very versatile recipe! DH and I think that it is perfect as is, but would probably be just as good with some vodka for an alcoholic drink, or a very refreshing cold tea in summer. I used English Breakfast tea in this trial, but usually don't have caffeinated teas, so will try it with my favorite, Rooibos tea, next time...and there will definitely be a next time! Thanks Lorrie for this lovely recipe!
