For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar or honey instead of granulated sugar. Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference. Experiment with different tea blends to find your favorite combination. Black tea is traditional, but green or herbal teas can also be used. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint sprigs for an elegant presentation. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
