you do not boil the water it makes the tea cloudy looking use the water just before it boils,and it tastes much better.

Filtering the water through a Brita filter before heating it up to make tea, greatly improves the clarity of the tea.

If I hadn’t given up tea, I’d try your excellent suggestion. Maybe you can still get the good effect of the sugar by boiling it (the sugar) in the water by itself. Then continue your recipe. That way, you’ll get both the clarity of the tea and the delicious effect of boiling the sugar.
