This was a great change from the tea made in the coffee maker. A bit less tea tartness and the hint of mint was nice. -
This is a lovely idea for iced tea. I must admit I was concerned about whether it would work in the partial sunshine we had today in England. But it did! I added a little Splenda after brewing as my other half likes it sweet! Thanks for a keeper! Made for Please Review My Recipe. -
This was so refreshing!! Had this on a hot humid day and it did the trick!! Have a large mint patch in my backyard - so used a couple of sprigs - and loved it in this iced tea!! Thanks Lainey! :) -
So quick and easy. I put this out on the back porch last night and it was done by the morning. I guess the heat from the evening made the tea brew. Anyway, love the sweetness and the hint of mint. Made for 1-2-3 Tag.

This was made this morning and was ready at lunch time. The only thing I changed was adding Splenda after the tea had brewed. This tea is lightly sweet with a hint of mint.
