My only regret with this recipe is that I only made one recipe instead of doubling or tripling the recipe. This recipe is so cool & refreshing & very tasty, especially when it is very hot outside. This recipe came from a book titled HOMTOWN RECIPES FOR THE HOLIDAYS. But with this recipe there is no need to wait for a holiday, it is great year round. It does require a bit more effort than your regular pitcher of tea, but it is worth every bit of your efforts. I will certainly be doubling or perhaps even tripling this recipe next time. The glass that you see is all that was left. We Loved it
