Tea Preparation

Method

Tea Brewing

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Brew the Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  3. 3

    Remove the Tea Bags

    After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot. Discard them.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar

    While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Cool the Tea

    Allow the sweetened tea to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can refrigerate it for a faster chill.

  6. 6

    Serve

    In a glass, add 2 cups of ice cubes. Pour the cooled sweet tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
