Notes :

1. For measuring the amount of lemon peel accurately use a measuring spoon like this Ikea red tablespoon shown in these photos.

2. Adding more sugar - We think 4 tablespoon of honey is perfect. You can add more but that might make it sickly sweet. The trick about ice tea of any kind is to make it refreshing but not overly sweet. Some even prefer zero sugar. It's your choice.
