This is a pretty good drink - smooth and fresh! I scaled this down to 1 serving. I used splenda instead of sugar and added twice what was called for. Enjoyed this drink - thanks for posting the recipe! Made for the Comfort Cafe event, January 2009

I might have enjoyed this more with a flavored tea as green tea isn't exactly my cup of tea. Bad pun, I know, just couldn't resist. Made for the Comfort Cafe, a tag game.
