A creative drink
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love mojitos, so be able to make a non-alcoholic version is awesome. This is yummy and has good flavor- but I have some... critisims. 4 bags of english breakfast tea for a pitcher makes this VERY strong, almost too strong to drink. Next time, I'm going to downgrade to 3 or maybe even 2. The recipe is compartmentalized, so it has to be done a while before you would like to serve it, so watch out for that. But overall very creative and refreshing.Read more

Yummo!

This tea was really tasty. By the way Gerry, on the show Rachel did mention that you had to wait for the simple syrup to cool... before adding it to the rest. You must have missed that part. I followed the recipe to a T and the tea came out excellent.Read more

So good!

This recipe is a bit different from the one aired. On the show Rachael put a huge handful of fresh mint leaves in the... pitcher, poured in the hot simple syrup and boiling water, allowing this to steep the tea. When I tried that method, it resulted in a slightly murkier tea but it had a deeper mint flavor which I prefer. I might further suggest for those of us who miss the zing to use this tea as the base for a Cuban version (?) of Long Island Iced Tea. Add equal parts of bourbon, rum, tequila, Cointreau and vodka to reach your preferred strength. Add in some lemon/lime soda if you miss the fizz. If you have containers of tea, booze and soda, your guests can mix and match. Virgin or enhanced, this drink is refreshing and fun.Read more
