Yummy! An easy way to impress guests!<br/><br/>The tea flavor is subtle. I did 6 tea bags instead of 4, and steeped it longer, and it still wasn't a very strong tea flavor. Next time I think I'll go 8 tea bags. <br/><br/>Also, most recipes I've seen recommend straining the mixture after combining all ingredients (in case you get any air bubbles from the combining, or in case you have any unmixed egg).
