This is not a tea for non-sugar types, I don't know if it's healthy or not, but this tea tastes so good.

I also prefer using less sugar, but the original recipe does use the specified amount. So everyone is free to make their own choice

4 Tbsp sugar is way too much. I add 2, and tea was still sweet
