Made it healthier. I decreased the sugar to 150g and it was still quite sweet. Probably could decrease even more. - 15 Jul 2008

I was excited to make this because I had so much fresh mint growing in my garden. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to trying it hot in the winter. - 15 Jul 2008
