I really enjoyed this chilled herb tea Sonya. I used fresh sage & mint from my garden, a meyer lemon and orange blossom honey. Boy was this excellent. I couldn't ask for anything better, it was ice cold and had a really lovely flavor. Thank you so much for sharing this treat, that I will enjoy often. What a great swap partner you are. :)

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
