Pretty dang tasty
I tried this recipe, but decided to half the amount of honey; and I would have to say, it turned out pretty good. If you like drinks a little less sweet than usual, then I would let the fruit do most of the sweetening. I would certainly make this again.

great!
I love this drink! It's super simple with ingredients I have on hand often. It's a great pick me up when you don't feel like going out to a coffee shop. I make this in the mornings on my way to work and experiment a little with what fruit rind I put in the tea.
