My husband used one of these for years until he just kind of fell out of the habit of drinking it. He preferred 4-5 bags of Peach Ginger tea of some brand I can’t remember. They were the ones with round tea bags and no strings. It did make a fabulous iced tea. He sometimes experimented with using a fruit tea along with some black teas.

Milo's tastes like they use Luzianne tea for their premade tea. It's one of the few bottled teas we drink. The brand makes a big difference. Most folks who make a good iced tea use Luzianne. It's a milder tea and not bitter. Lipton's makes the worst tea for iced tea. If you start with a sucky tea leaf, then you end up with a sucky ice tea. I'm a Southerner and iced tea is a big deal to me, just like barbecue and good biscuits.
You might want to try keeping your teabags in a sealed glass jar and put the jar in your freezer. The alternative is make more tea or replace your teabags. Try Luzianne brand of tea. Their tea is blended for making iced tea. The water makes a big difference. The water we had in NC mountains made really good tea. It was nice when we went back to actually drink water again from the tap for a change. My Mom has a good well on her place. Currently I use RO water for all drinking or cooking. The water in NM tastes nasty at best and is loaded with arsenic at worst. It makes a nasty tea.
I do store the bags in gasketed mason jars but even a small qty of bags lasts me years. I also recently tossed all my old tea and have a couple of different new ones.
