After tasting Boston Iced Tea, I just had to try and concoct my own. Delicious and refreshing! You can also serve with a slice of fresh orange.

Wonderful way to alter tea. I used Welch's Light frozen Cranberry juice and 1/2 Splenda 1/2 sugar and it still tasted great! Read More

I followed this recipe to the "T" and all I tasted was tea nothing else. If I were to make this again I would use half the tea bags. Even adding rum didn't improve the flavor. Read More

I COULDN'T FIND THE FROZEN CRANBERRY CONCENTRATE IN THE GROCERY STORE I SHOPPED IN SO I MADE IT WITH THE REGULAR OCEANSPRAY BOTTLED. I THINK IT WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE USING THE FROZEN THE REGULAR JUST DIDN'T CUT IT! THE GODDESS WAS NOT HAPPY-MY OWN FAULT-SORRY! xoxoxoxo Read More

Delicious! I used Cran-Raspberry juice to counter some of the tartness of straight cranberry juice. It was gone within hours. It was simple and fast. Something I will make again and again. Read More

I created a different flavor combination & it worked out well. With the basic recipe in mind (I halved the recipe because I only wanted 8 c. of liquid.) I used 1/2 a can of pineapple juice concentrate 1/2c. of sugar 8c. of boiling water and I used 10 HERBAL TEA (mango apple) bags. The flavor was terrific. A great way to use up excess tea bags. I will try other juice concentrates and tea flavors in the future. A Read More

This was delicious! Next time I'll probably use 3/4 cup of sugar though. I also made it in halved quantities.. 1/2 the ingredients and 7 tea bags for the first batch and 1/2 the ingredients and the same 7 tea bags the 2nd time so the tea wasn't too strong. The results were more than satisfying. I absolutely loved this. Quick and easy something I know I'll make again. Read More

We go through about a gallon of this every day. Cran-Raspberry is my favorite but I have also tried it with frozen lemonade and raspberry lemonade. Read More

As good as Red Lobster's--maybe better! I doubled the recipe for a family get together. Not a drop was left. Looking forward to making it again soon. Read More
