Method

Brewing

  1. 1

    Boil Water

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

  2. 2

    Steep Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Let them steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you want your tea.

  3. 3

    Remove Tea Bags

    After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot. You can use a spoon or tongs to avoid burns.

    Cool Down

    Allow the brewed tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

    Pour Tea

    Pour the chilled unsweetened tea into the glass over the ice.

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, add a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves for extra flavor.
