- What a great flavorful tea! I ended up using grape apple juice and it was so good! Thanks, I'll be making more of this. Made for ZWT#9 2013.
- Thanks, Annacia, for another great beverage! Made this for a small group, expecting to have some left over, but that was not the case, so I'm making this again today! Followed the directions but opted out when it came to the mint & lime! VERY NICE TEA! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag]
