Can it be stored?
Yes, you could store the iced tea but make sure to keep refrigerated and use within 1-2 days. I would suggest making it fresh as it will taste better than the stored ones.

Why not? Use your choice of sweetener in the tea. You could use maple syrup, agave nectar, or any of your favorite sugar.

You could make the iced tea with any of your favorite summer fruits like mango, strawberry, or pineapple. Feel free to replace passion fruit with your choice of fruits.
