Very refreshing. I used fresh mint from the garden and a Moroccan mint green tea, so had a little extra mint zing to it. The lime is a nice compliment to the mint. I would cut the amount of agave down next time, though, as it was a bit too sweet for us. And I don't understand the yield given. No way this makes 11.2 qts. More like 2 qts. Made for My 3 Chefs game.
