  Do not steep the tea bag for very long and NEVER squeeze out the remaining water from the tea leaves, this makes any tea that you make Extremely Bitter… and therefore impossible to really sweeten short of dumping the entire sugar bowl in it….

  You can add kindness, love, forgivness. Mix those three together and put them in one to one proportion. But dont overdose coz the tea might turn to honey.

  I suggest hunny as a natural sorce but if you looking for something that will really make it sweet, but wont go straight to your hips use splenda,

  dont use sweet'n'low, cause the biochemical in it have been related to the same structure as some cancers.

  If you do not want to add sweeteners such as sugar, sugar substitutes, honey or what-have-you, You can add flavoured tea bags. Celestial Seasonings has several that add a little sweetness. I use True Blueberry and Cranberry Apple Zinger. They do not add a whole lot of sweetness, but they do add just a touch.

  LOVE!!! Love is an ingredient which one must never forget to add when you cook, thats what makes mine tastier when people eat the food I cook. It is very ordinary things but with love it is extraordinary!!!!
  Besides, it is not expensive but a virtue which one cannot cheat no matter what!!!
  If the ingredient of love is there it will be seen, and if it is lacking it will also be seen. One cannot hide such priceless virtues, and on the other hand undesirable traits!!!! try as much you may never be successful.

  All the other suggestions, plus the spices that go into chai. Cinnamon, clove….
  Not brewing for too long makes a less intense tea. Milk helps soften it, too.
  and I've read recommendations elsewhere for not squeezing the bag.
  Powdered fruit juice: Tang or lemonade.
  Don't Russians stir in [raspberry] jam?

  Sugar, honeybee, or maybe mixing with crysanthemum? hahaha

  Honey, granulated sugar, brown sugar (I'm against the fake sugars)

  I love a squeeze of lemon in my tea. The lemon enhances and rounds out the tea after sweetener. Try it!

  A little salt and some real (fresh squeezed) lemon, not much.

  It really does work………

  You should not put anything in black tea. It dilutes the natural flavors from the tea. Most of people don't really know how to make black tea from loose tea leafs.

  The best way to make tea out of tea leafs is getting a tea pot with drainers to seperate the tea leafs from the tea made. When you have the tea pot available, dump the first pot of tea made as soon as you pour the hot water into the pot with tea leaves. You never drink the first pot of tea since it would be full of the bitter residue on the tea leafs during the tea making process.

  After the first post of tea (sometimes it's called 'tea-leaf washing'), you can make the second pot of tea and on without any bitterness, and therefore, no sweetener necessary.
