Anyway, let it cool overnight so it doesn't cloud and you keep the best flavor, and then refrigerate. Then comes the gin. The amount of gin:tea is never the same, but I'd say about a 1:5 gin to tea ratio is okay. I serve it on the rocks with a twist in a highball glass.
I've been told this is also called a tree frog.

Yeah, a Long Island Iced Tea that is not, not even close. Not saying it's not a good drink, but it's not a long island iced tea, and calling it that is ridiculous...that would be like making a White Russian, except with Seagram's Seven instead of Vodka, and 7Up instead of milk, and no Kahlúa.
Calling it a Willravel Iced Tea is fine though!
