Using loose-leaf tea or tea bags of good quality will provide a more flavorful iced tea.
Steeping the tea leaves for a longer period will result in a stronger tea flavor. However, steeping for too long can make the tea bitter.
Sweetening the tea with simple syrup instead of granulated sugar will help the sugar dissolve more easily.
Adding sliced lemons and mint leaves will enhance the flavor of the tea and make it more refreshing.
