I'm not a huge fan of sweet tea, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I liked the addition of mint and lemon.

I've been making this sweet tea for years and it's always a hit at parties. I love the way the lemon and mint add a fresh flavor to the tea.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! I used honey instead of sugar and it was still plenty sweet. My family loved it.

This sweet tea is delightful! I used half black tea and half green tea and it turned out perfectly balanced. I also added a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
