Answer 1

What I do is buy a healthy peach tea which is sooo delicous iced barely needs any sugar at all, usually doesnt. So I boil water brew the tea bags, then refrigerate it, taste it if it needs some sweetness try honey or stevia both natural and healthy sweetners

wash and hull strawberries cut in half add to tea cover refrigerate at least 6 hour to blend flavors just before serving add bottle of soda water

Answer 3

I use two family size tea bags and bring them to a boil with about 4 cups of water and let them steep for about 10-15 minutes to maximize flavor.  I pour this into a gallon sized pitcher with 1 cup of sugar and then add enough water to reach the top of the pitcher.  I live in the south and this is sweet tea but not too sweet.
