Notes
Storing: these ice cubes can be transferred to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container and kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Making it with milk: You can transform these ice cubes into tea latte ice cubes using milk. For that, brew a stronger tea using only half the amount of water, then mix with the same amount of milk.
Making it with sugar: I don’t like adding sugar to these, as it can make a drink too sweet after the cubes melt. However, it’s possible to make sweetened tea ice cubes. Sugar and artificial sweeteners work for that, just avoid adding too much or they cubes won’t freeze properly.
