1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Steep Tea
Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from heat and add the 4 tea bags. Let them steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags from the water and discard them. If you prefer a sweeter tea, add honey or sugar at this stage while the tea is still warm.

4
Cool Down
Allow the brewed tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
5
Prepare Glasses
Fill each glass with 1 cup of ice cubes. If desired, add fresh mint leaves and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
6
Pour Tea
Once chilled, pour the brewed tea over the ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lemon slices.
7
Serve
Stir gently and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing iced tea!
