I enjoyed this, indeed a refreshing tea, and healthy with all that mint and lemon! I used rooibos (herbal) teabags, and I didn't add the sugar, as I don't care for it. If I liked sweetness, I would have added honey, rather than the sugar, however, I prefer this 'au naturel'. Good way to use my garden mint, and a refreshing tea to enjoy while I do household chores, a keeper, kaykwilts! -
This was good, but I wasn't sure how much a "sprig" of mint is so I just assumed 2 or 3 leaves for each sprig.

I'm originally from Tennessee but moved to Louisiana when I married my husband. In addition to cooking I enjoy making quilts, sewing, reading, and gardening. I have an immense collection of cookbooks but find the majority of my recipes online. I like it that they are rated. I am the mother of three children. My son is now with the Lord. My two girls are grown and married. My youngest has two young children.
