We had this at a family friend's house for lunch one Sunday afternoon, and as I was drinking it, I was trying to figure out what was in it! This is such a refreshing and tasty drink-great for a crowd. My friend added a can of frozen lemonade concentrate to this along with some more water. Thank you for sharing.

This is the recipe that I have been looking for FOREVER! It was the whole reason for opening my account on recipezaar. I posted a forum and within a couple of hours, this recipe was suggested. My mom used to take my sister and I to a little bistro when we were younger. We would always order their fruit tea. This taste exactly like that. I did not change anything about the recipe. The amount that is listed is for 2 gallons worth of tea. The next time I make it, I will probably half the recipe if it is just for myself and family. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. Drinking it brought back so many wonderful childhood memories!

This iced tea is excellent! I used to make something very similar when we lived in Hawaii but I got out of the habit of making when we moved back to the east coast. I made as posted without the fresh mint, using decaf tea bags and we love it! Thanks so much for posting and for reminding me to make it more often!
