1
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat and add the tea leaves or tea bags. Allow them to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on the type of tea and your desired strength.

3
Sweeten Your Tea
If desired, add sugar or honey to the tea while it is still warm. Stir well until dissolved.
4
Add Flavor
For a refreshing twist, add lemon juice. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in milk or cream.

5
Strain and Serve
If you used loose tea leaves, strain the tea into cups. If you used tea bags, simply remove the bags. Serve hot and enjoy!
