1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Prepare the Tea Base
Choose your desired tea base (black, green, or herbal) and measure out 2 tablespoons. If using a tea infuser, place the tea leaves inside.

3
Steep the Tea
Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and add the tea leaves (or infuser) to the water. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.

4
Add Flavorings (Optional)
If desired, add honey, a slice of lemon, or a piece of fresh ginger to enhance the flavor of the tea. Stir gently to combine.

5
Serve the Tea
Pour the brewed tea into a cup, ensuring to strain out the tea leaves if not using an infuser. Serve hot and enjoy!
