Notes
- This drink is not overly sweet. Add more (or less) sugar depending on your preference
- Steep the tea for a shorter or longer time for a weaker or stronger tea.
- Add ice to glasses, and not to the pitcher, to avoid watering the drink down.
- Tip: Brew extra tea to freeze in ice cube trays. Use in place of ice and your drink won't be watered down.
