"Also from the Southwest Airlines magazine, October 2007. Sounds good. One can, of course, use purchased lemonade. I certainly would. :-)"

  • Submerge the mint and orange rind and add the lemonade and cranberry juice.
  • Cover the teapot and allow to steep two to four minutes.
  • Pour the tea to a clear glass mug to serve. Garnish with the orange spiral and cherry or cranberries (also fresh mint if desired).

  1. I loved this drink! I used cranberry/grape juice. Thanks! Made for PRMR.
     
  2. I made this as an iced tea for DH and he really liked it. He said it was very lemony (made with homemade lemonade). I left the tea in it while it chilled, so it would punch up the tea flavor.
     
  3. Top faves of 2008 tag: Delicious and refreshing drink! Everyone loved it!
     
  4. Took the suggestion from mikekey & made a larger batch for iced tea ~ Actually tripled the recipe & had a WONDERFUL WARM WEATHER DRINK! I love beverages like this, & this one is definitely a keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for a teammate in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]
     
  5. 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!
