This tea came out very pretty with the rasberry cubes and was refreshing..but next time I might add a little less lemon. The lemon came out a bit overpowering for me, but maybe that was the point since Lemon is the first word in the name. Also, if you are looking for a sweeter tea, you may want to add some sugar but I would leave the pitcher of tea itself as is, so the guests would have the choice of adding some if they want. Everybody enjoyed the tea, though, so good recipe and would make again

This is delicious! I quadruple the recipe (makes 2 huge containers and still it doesn't last long enough in our house. I have to admint I use green tea because that's what I have on hand, and have made it with fresh lemon juice and bottled, either way is just as good. It is a bit of work, but so much more economical than buying ready-made, and I'm sure it must be better for you. I love Ellie! I've made many of her recipes and each has been a keeper. Her common sense approach to healthy eating really appeals to me. I highly recommend her book, "Small Changes, Big Results" to anyone struggling with healthy eating choices.
