A very nice change from plain brewed tea. My DH likes his tea sweeter than I do and it was nice to be able to flavor our tea seperately.

    This is the way i usually make sangria, as i have been deprived this summer of drinking it i went on and made this. I liked it and am used to making the sugar/citrus syrup. I did put orange/lemon/lime slices in the syrup to soak up additional flavor. I love fruit teas, but brewed ones, can't stand that instant stuff!! I liked this.

    I mixed this up in the morning using Splenda instead of sugar. I allowed it to boil as recommended. It is a nice addition to freshly brewed tea. The one thing I did like about this recipe is that you add it to the tea when serving so everyone has a choice. Thanks.
