Tea Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tea

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Tea

    After steeping, remove the tea bags. If making sweet tea, stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm, allowing it to dissolve completely.

  3. 3

    Cool the Tea

    Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, approximately 1-2 hours.

  4. 4

    Serve the Tea

    To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in the sweetened tea for a refreshing drink. For unsweetened tea, simply pour the brewed tea over ice without adding sugar. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
