As a hot tea, this is very good, but as an iced tea it is 10-stars! I made it both ways. The hot would be good in the wintertime, especially if you were a bit under the weather. (I think the "mocktail" might be in reference to a hot toddy?) The iced version is really refreshing with the mint and lemon flavors. I used "Market Spice Original" (an old local company's version of Constant Comment") and couldn't find white cranberry so used my juicer to make some fresh cranberry juice. I am going to make a pitcher full of it next time!
