very refreshing! I used 2/3 cup of sugar instead of 1 to make it healthier and it was still delicious.

I made once with Jasmine tea and once with Black tea. The black tea was better.

The various fruit juices give this a flavor that's a bit too complex - seems like too many tastes are competing for center stage. I would eliminate the orange juice next time.

Tasty & refreshing! Even the kids enjoyed it. Nice change from regular iced tea. I normally don't sweeten my tea but this wasn't too sweet at all and I would certainly make again.

Made this for a spa night and everyone raved over it. It was a HUGE hit! It's very refreshing. When you look at the bowl you think it's a pineapple juice/orange juice punch. But then take a drink and surprise! :) Thanks for a good recipe! I'll make again and again...especially during the summer!

I didn't have any lemon or orange juice, so I substituted 1 cup of apple juice instead. I used fresh spearmint and pineapple mint from my garden and about 1/2 cup of sugar. It was delicious!

This is a really good tea/punch recipe. I would definitely advise making it a day ahead of time - when I had a glass for myself after making it, I didn't really like it. The next day, I liked it much better, and it received rave reviews at a baby shower. I did use mint tea instead of tea + mint leaves, just because it seemed a little easier. I used store-bought OJ, but next time, I might squeeze it myself because I think it would taste a little fresher. Everyone really enjoyed it. For a twist, I wonder how it would be with lemon sparkling water.

I made some for my teenage nieces at a family gathering. They liked it so much that the adults helped themselves to it and loved it. The only problem was, there wasn't enough of this delicious drink to go around.

I served this tea (with minor alterations) to the guests at my daughter's slumber party, and it was just wonderful. I was looking for something to keep the girls hydrated and refreshed as they gabbed late into the night, and this worked great. I used fresh lemon juice, but only half what is called for, used 2 tea bags of herbal mint tea in place of the fresh mint, and used just a little less than half the amount of sugar. I served a double batch of this punch alongside a popular milk/sherbet punch, and the girls drank all this one first (even though it was much less sweet). What a lovely change of pace from too-sweet punch!

I really liked this. I made it with two mint tea bags instead of the fresh mint and I think it probably made the mint flavor a bit subtler.

Ok I must have done something wrong because mine was not good at all. My rating my be a little unfair because I felt the recipe was unclear, at least for me. I used sprigs of mint but I'm thinking it should actual leaves mine was way too minty. As far as the tea bags, is it supossed to be family sized or regular? I really didn't know. I wish I knew what I did wrong because this sounds like a wonderful recipe, but it just didn't work for me. sorry.

This was fabulous! I made mine with Bigelow Herbal Taste of The Tropics Tea and put sliced oranges right in the pitcher. It was an absolute hit at my party. Make sure to make extra as it will go fast.

Very good and refreshing with the mint aftertaste. Excellent for a summer day or to serve at a shower. I'll probably cut down the sugar a bit next time as I'm not a huge fan of sweet drinks.

Really enjoyed this delightful tea/punch, made one minor adj. added 1/2 cup organic honey & cut back on the sugar content to half. Less sweet, with a milder flavor...perfect!

I served this with Thai marinated grilled shrimp ( from this website which was GREAT!). the tea was Cool and refreshing...however, I felt the mint overpowered the tea/citrus flavors. Maybe I just used too much mint or the wrong kind ( I used Peppermint from my herb bed) I might try it again with alittle less mint. I switched to white wine after the first glass!
