Tips
The longer the teabags are steeped in water, the stronger the flavor.
Ice will water down the tea so adjust the quantity to control how strong or weak you'd like the tea.
Don't keep tea bags in the tea when storing.
You can use more tea bags or steep for longer if you want it stronger.
Add water or ice if it's too strong.
Sweeten to your taste.
