Any recipes for a healthy sweetened iced green tea?

I'm a big fan of green tea...but I like it sweet. I enjoy Lipton's Pure Leaf because it does not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup, but it's very expensive. What's a good recipe for an sweet green tea? A little sugar is ok, but I'd like to keep it as low as possible. Any ideas?Any recipes for a healthy sweetened iced green tea?

I would brew it cold, using filtered water, to keep the healthy benefits of green tea. Also, Chai-spiced green tea tastes great. I add a tiny bit of Splenda or Stevia for sweetness after its cold brewed.
