For a deeper rhubarb flavor, let the rhubarb steep in the sugar and water for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, both in the rhubarb syrup and the tea. Experiment with different types of tea, such as green tea or herbal tea, for a unique flavor profile. Add a splash of lemon or lime juice to the iced tea for extra zing.
