Recipe Notes
- You can use black tea of your choice. One tea bag contains approximately ½ tablespoon of tea grains so you could use 2 tablespoons. The amount of tea used also depends on the potency of the tea leaves.
- You can opt out of using any sweetener. Alternatively, you could use brown sugar, maple syrup or honey as a sweetening agent. The brew’s taste will change depending on the sweetening agent used.
