If you want it sweet add the sugar once you strain it or just make a simple syrup. Paper or cloth teabags also work if you don't want to have to strain it. You could try cold brewing:

Remove from heat, and insert two regular ol' tea bags - cover. Wait ten minutes. Put the pot in a pitcher, and then two more pots of cold water the same depth as the original pot. Add between 1/3 cup and 1 cup of sugar depending on how adventurous you are. Add ice. Ta daaa!! The southern way? Boil a sauce pot of water.
