I loved this recipe! I made a half batch to fit my crockpot. Steeping the mint created a great base tea and the orange and orange blossom water added really nice citrus and floral notes, for a very refreshing drink. It\u2019s on the sweeter side, which I really liked, but you can definitely reduce the sugar if you prefer. I purchased the orange blossom water online and the remaining ingredients are easy groceries\/staples!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-04-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"MarilynSM"},"reviewBody":"How much tea?
