This is a wonderfully refresing summer beverage. If you don't like the taste, try substituting Rasberry Zinger for the Red Zinger for a more berry-like taste. You can never go wrong with Ina's recipes! :

SO amazingly refreshing! I love this drink on a spring or summer day. The flavor of the tea isn't for everyone so I would recommend simply swapping the red/lemon zinger tea bags with another herbal tea that suits your preferences if you're concerned about it.

I love this. Although I just used Mott's, it was still perfect and refreshing. I dont really know why people say it tastes like cough syrup. I beg to disagree. I love Ina!!!

Poured it down the drain.

I love this recipe! I mistakenly tried it using only 4 tea bags - 2 of each flavor - and I love the way it came out. I prefer no sugar added apple juice. It's not too sweet, and the tea flavor really shines through. On a whim, I mixed it up and substituted Wild Cherry Blackberry tea instead of the Red Zinger and Lemon Zinger, and I think I like that combination even more! Very refreshing and light. I'll be making this all year.

I am watching my weight, so I could not use all the carbs from 4 cups of apple juice. So, I did 4 cups water, with 1 cup apple juice, 5 Splenda packets, and I added 3 drops of peppermint extract.

When served over ice, the drink has a nice, light flavor. No, I am not "raving" over it, but I find I get tired of drinking just water. I want flavor which this has. Might I prefer it with all 4 cups of apple juice? I'm sure, but I like what I'm drinking.

When it gets hot (and in Los Angeles, we've had some 90 degree days in January 2011 already, it will be just perfect.

I agree with Deborah in Washington, D.C. After watching this episode and seeing Ina's smile after sipping the iced tea, I thought it would be really good and the reviewers that said otherwise were probably just being picky. Unfortunately, they were right. It really does taste like medicine. Like cough syrup. Maybe it would be a better recipe with a different type of tea - not red or lemon zinger. I had to pour it down the drain too. My husband and I tasted it together and both thought it was really gross. Sorry Ina...I love you anyway. All the other recipes I've tried of yours are delicious.

I own all of Ina's books, watch her show - she is my absolute favorite - but this recipe was so bad we had to throw it away. Not one member of the family liked it. It tastes like cough medicine. I actually poured it down the drain. I was very disappointed. This is the very first of Ina's recipes that I haven't enjoyed. We tried adding some sugar and then some splenda, all to no avail. It was unsalvageable.

We saw Ina make this on her show, and my 8-year-old wanted to make it for our dinner guests that night. We used Celestial Seasonings Country Peach bags and Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger bags. She loved it, and so did our dinner guests. :- It's nice that it's not terribly sweet.
