I've made this all my life. Never thought of putting it in writing. But, of course, I think it's wonderful and so do my 7 kids and their families. – Reviewed by Rose Hale

I found this recipe, it was called Debbie Owen's Iced Tea, in an issue of The Old Farmer's Almanac Guide to Summer's Best Recipes in an article by Jessica Barlow titled: Drinks for Dog Days. I have a pot cooling even now. Yeah for the neighbor who lets his mint grow unrestrained! – Anonymous Review
