  1. Great tea! I use Splenda in place of sugar and it came out just right with 1-1/4 c. :) Thanks, Chef Mommie!!
     
  2. Amy I know you have a big smile as look down upon my family enjoying this tea. It is so refreshing and easy to pull together. Each sip brings back memories of summers with my grandmother. I will make this again! Your friends are very special people to post recipes in your honor.
