1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Add the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat. Add 4 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 4 tea bags to the water. Stir gently.

3
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea. Cover it to retain heat.

4
Strain and Serve
If using loose leaf tea, strain the tea into cups. If using tea bags, simply remove the bags. Optionally, add honey, a slice of lemon, or milk to taste.
