For a less sweet tea, reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup. If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea bags for up to 45 minutes. Feel free to experiment with other citrus fruits, such as lime or orange, for a unique twist. For a sparkling version, top with club soda or sparkling water just before serving.
