I should have read the reviews before I made this. The tea is lovely but too much sugar is added. I came out way to sweet. I would cut the sugar by a bit more than half. You can always add but you can't take it away! : This was a wonderful compliment to the balsamic/honey glazed lamb chops, which were sooo yummy!

Was wonderful without the vodka. We do not drink any alcohol at all.

This was a great episode and aside from the food, I'd love to know where to hire the musicians. What a fabulous duo they were!
