Very refreshing and just the right spices! Since its Winter now, I also made this drink and served it hot! Can't go wrong hot or cold! Made for Let's Party 2011 tag.

I used the given ingredients but per personal taste I used less orange juice and more tea which was simple to do as I just made one glass (think I'll make a pitcher next time). It's refreshing and delicious. LOVE the cinnamon. Made for my "Icebergs in the Tropics" theme in Comfort Cafe, July 09.

I did a half batch using peach tea bags, this is lovely with the mix of spices. I served it cold but imagine it would be great warm too. Thanks Tisme!

This was really good. I was the only one in the family that liked it though.

I tried this with green tea and with rose hibiscus tea and I prefer the latter since the one with the green tea leaned more on the sour side. Very refreshing and best served chilled. Thanks, Tisme!
