I used a good China Oolong tea to make this drink. I thought for sure that steeping the tea for an hour would be a little too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I 'never' squeeze my bags, as I feel it leaves an unpleasant taste in the brew. The sweetness was just right for me, but here is the funny part. I didn't add any further water, and just served it over crushed ice. Beautiful! Thnx for sharing your recipe, My Kitchen. Made for Comfort Cafe Snow Queen Chalet Jan 2010.
