        I tried this with 2 different kinds of tea, Salada -which is what I had on hand and also lipton. It's funny, but it really does make a difference which brand of tea you use for the recipe.

        Kudos on a kick ass recipe that tastes fab.

        just had to say that I made this for thanksgiving and now as soon as it runs out I am asked to make more. I havent tried the flavors yet, but am going to experiment with peach tea when the tea bags go on sale.
