Note

For a stronger tea flavor, let the tea bags steep for up to 10 minutes or leave them in the refrigerator overnight after brewing.

You can adjust the sweetness by using less sugar or opting for a sweetened lemonade concentrate. If using unsweetened concentrate, ensure you add enough sugar to taste.

Store leftover iced tea in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
