I love gunpowder tea and this sounded like an interesting variation. I had to use extract and found it to be a little overpowering, so will try it next time with fresh mint, when I have some in the garden. This would make a nice iced tea. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game. -
Very refreshing and comforting tea! I used fresh mint and sweetened it very lightly and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for My-3-Chefs 2012
