Zinger Green Tea Drink
"I got an email from Biggest Loser with this recipe on it.
This is refreshing drink that's perfect for spring. Packed with antioxidants, this tea is bursting with flavor, too. Fresh lime juice gives it a tangy zing and a wallop of vitamin C."

Very refreshing. I used fresh mint from the garden and a Moroccan mint green tea, so had a little extra mint zing to it. The lime is a nice compliment to the mint. I would cut the amount of agave down next time, though, as it was a bit too sweet for us. And I don't understand the yield given. No way this makes 11.2 qts. More like 2 qts. Made for My 3 Chefs game.
