For a richer flavor, experiment with different types of black tea, such as Earl Grey, English Breakfast, or Darjeeling. Adjust the steeping time to suit your taste preferences. Start with 15 minutes and increase if you prefer a stronger tea. If you don't have a pitcher, a large glass jar or container will also work well. Avoid over-steeping the tea, as it can result in a bitter taste.
