For a smoother concentrate, use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth-lined sieve for straining. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your desired level of sweetness. Experiment with different types of black tea for a unique flavor profile. For an extra layer of spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice. This concentrate can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
