Notes
Varieties of black tea are the best type to use for the right flavor. Varieties include Ceylon, Orange Pekoe, or English Breakfast, and a combination of these teas also works well.
For stronger tea, add one more tea bag to steep in the same amount of water.
Feel free to use a non-dairy evaporated milk if you are dairy-free.
Add fewer ice cubes if you do not want your tea to get too diluted.
Options to sweeten your tea, add a teaspoon (or to taste)
Simple syrup: to make simple syrup, heat together equal parts water and granulated sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool completely.
Sweetened condensed milk
Maple syrup
