This is soooo good and refreshing. I cut the recipe in 1/2 as I was only serving myself. Perfect amount. Really a wonderful taste with just a subtle hint of tea. I used 1/2 fat vanilla icecream. Thanks for a winner Syd!~ Made for ZaarStars.

It is August in Memphis ladies and gentlemen and it is HOT HOT HOT! This is the perfect beat the heat beverage! I made it with unsweetened tea, that I had in the fridge and vanilla ice cream as well! So good! Thanks for sharing! Next time I make it I will use raspberry sorbet for a raspberry tea shake! Can't wait!

This gets 5 stars for a unique recipe that we were awed by. We keep sweet tea in the house all the time, so we used that with vanilla ice cream. The tea is very subtle, yet you know it's there. This is great stuff! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

As the other reviewers have stated, this was a real surprise, and quite good. I had already made Freezer Orange Sherbet #288426 and had some left over, so that is what I used with my chilled tea. Yummy!!! Made for PRMR. Thanks, Sydney Mike!
