1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 4 tsp of black tea leaves or 4 tea bags. Allow to steep for 5 minutes.
3
Remove the Tea Leaves/Bags
After steeping, remove the tea leaves or tea bags. If using loose leaves, you may want to strain the tea to remove any residue.

4
Add Sweeteners
If you prefer sweetened tea, stir in 2 tbs of sugar or 1 tbs of honey until fully dissolved.
5
Add Milk or Lemon
For a creamy tea, add 1 cup of milk. Alternatively, for a refreshing citrus flavor, add 2 slices of lemon.

6
Pour and Enjoy
Pour the tea into cups and serve hot. Enjoy your tea as is or with additional sweeteners to taste.
