Peet's Coffee and Tea Houses here on the west coast of California make this wonderful Jasmine Green Tea with lime so I figured out how to make it at home using Light Agave Syrup rather than sugar since agave has a low glycemic response. The Jasmine and lime combined makes this delicious but indescribable flavor. So refreshing on a hot day!!
