Instructions

- Using fresh peach and mango slices for garnish not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the fruity flavor.
- For a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea bags for up to 8 minutes but avoid steeping too long to prevent bitterness.
- This iced tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
