1
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
3
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in honey or sugar until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

4
Cool the Tea
Let the brewed tea cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.

5
Add Flavor
Once chilled, stir in the fresh lemon juice and add the mint leaves, gently muddling them to release their flavor.
6
Serve
Serve the iced tea over ice in glasses. Garnish with lemon slices and mint sprigs if desired.
