I've heard of this, but never seriously tried it. Would you advise just brewing some earl grey and then sticking it in the refrigerator for a while? I'd assume ice cubes would dilute the taste?

I only add the cubes because it's hot out. It definitely dilutes it, but it's cold.
I
would advise that, however.
I mean hell - you're never going to know if it's worth it to start doing unless you try doing it at least once.
And I think that sun tea bacteria thing has more to do with local water and just erring on the side of caution rather than a standard rule for everyone everywhere. It just says "it can make you ill" - for a lot of people simply drinking local tap water can make you ill. So I give that one a big fucking "meh". Live a little.
Edit: Further reading on that Snope's sun tea thing leads me to believe that it's no big deal, and simply to stop people from steeping tea in dirty jars full of shitty water.
