This recipe is a waste of time. It didn't turn out well at all.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my iced tea turned out bitter. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I didn't have any oranges on hand, so I used grapefruit instead. It was still good, but I think I prefer the orange version.

This iced tea was a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less honey next time.

I didn't have any mint on hand, so I used basil instead. It was a great substitute.

I'm not a big fan of honey, so I used maple syrup instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. I had some oranges and lemons that were about to go bad, and this iced tea was the perfect way to use them up.

I've always been a fan of citrus-flavored iced tea, and this recipe takes it to the next level. The addition of honey and mint really elevates the flavors and makes it a refreshing and flavorful drink.
