Quakers abhor violence, and many abjure alcohol, although most believe in 'temperance' rather than 'abstinence'. However, they have no objections to double entendres. This is a lovely, refreshing summer time drink. I made it by the gallon for an August wedding last year and it was a big hit.

I wish I could give this recipe ten stars! I used Earl Grey tea bags and lemons from my tree. I love the hint of ginger taste. For me, this is the perfect ides tea recipe. Many thanks.

This makes a refreshing drink for a hot summer day. I used 4 regular size tea bags, 2 lemons instead of the 3. The drink was sweetened with Splenda instead of sugar. Everyone loved it, going back for seconds. There were no leftovers on this!

This is TERRIFIC! Wonderful flavor combination and just sweet enough! I followed the recipe pretty much exactly- I used 2 tsp Assam black tea rather than tea bags, 7 Tbs bottled organic lemon juice (because lemons were selling for a super-high price for whatever reason at the store), and used Sucanat rather than sugar. All ingredients were organic and I used filtered water. I didn't strain. The tea flavor is very mild and this tastes more like a fruit drink (a punch, I guess?) than an iced tea, which is nice. The dominant flavors are orange and mint, but the ginger, tea and lemon are key hints of flavor. Very refreshing and not over-sweetened (so many drink recipes are I find). Absolutely spectacular flavors- everything combines together so perfectly! I love this! Thanks for posting!!

Very refreshing drink. I didn't have fresh orange juice so I used concentrated OJ and it still came out excellent. To give it a kick, I added some pineapple rum and boy it is soooo good. Thank you for the recipe.
