Invigorating and refreshing! I was having a blah morning, so made myself some of this energy drink. It really did awaken my senses! I love the fresh lemon, and although I dislike sweetened tea, the splenda in this was just right. I've had 3 servings of this today and would drink more if I hadn't halved the recipe. Thanks so much-I LOVE this!

great tea taste and easy to make. I wasn't sure what two small herbal tea bags meant so I used earl grey tea bags for that part of the recipe. Thanks for the fun and easy recipe.

This is so refreshing! It's like a combination of lemonade and iced tea. I chose to use ginseng and peppermint teas, and the flavor turned out fantastic. I think I may take Evelyn's advice and reduce the sugar slightly next time, though, because it almost tastes a little sweeter than it needs to be. But there will definitely be many next times! I'm planning on making sure I have this on hand in my refrigerator this summer!

Very refreshing. My herbal teabags of choice were spearmint, and it proved to be an excellent choice along with the ginseng and lemon. I found I didn't need to go with the whole 2 cups of sugar - my tea was lovely with just over 1 1/2 cups, but I like things a little less sweet. A delightful way to beat the summer heat.
