Sweet Tea Mojitos

Sweet tea brewed in the hot sun, combined with lemon and fresh mint of a classic mojito, results in the perfect front porch cocktail for warm Summer nights. With or without alcohol, this refreshing drink is easy to make and can be altered using different flavors of tea. (full recipe below)

I found sweet tea vodka which worked perfectly. It's not carried in many stores, so some substitution suggestions: light rum, citrus vodka or plain vodka.
