I modified the ratio as follows:

100ml black tea
30ml simple syrup
20ml lemon juice
50ml soda

Also I just poured everything in an ice filled glass then stirred.

Pretty good variaton, worth a try ;)

I'm someone who likes short, strong drinks so I was hesitant about this, but its really yummy! Definitely hits the spot when you want a tasty drink without alcohol

Excellent as an aperitive, but a bit too aggressive for refreshing on a hot day. I doubled the quantity of black tea and it gave a perfect iced tea drink; according to your taste, you may want something between those settings.

I tried again with even more tea than that, and it was very bland.
