1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Add Tea
Once the water has boiled, remove the kettle from heat and add 4 teaspoons of tea leaves or 4 tea bags to the hot water.
3
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea. Longer steeping times will result in a stronger flavor.
4
Sweeten (optional)
If desired, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the brewed tea while it is still warm, stirring until dissolved.
5
Add Milk or Lemon (optional)
For a creamier taste, pour in 1 cup of milk. Alternatively, you can serve with lemon slices for a citrusy flavor.
6
Serve
Strain the tea into cups or teapots, and serve hot. Enjoy your freshly brewed tea!
