1
Boil Water
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Brew Tea
Once boiling, remove from heat, add 4 black tea bags, and steep for 5-7 minutes depending on your desired strength.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags from the saucepan and discard them.

4
Add Sweetener
If desired, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar or honey while the tea is still warm to help it dissolve. Adjust sweetness to taste.

5
Chill
Allow the tea to come to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well chilled.

6
Prepare Glasses
Fill glasses with ice cubes (about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of ice per glass).
7
Pour Tea
Pour the chilled tea over the ice in each glass.
8
Garnish
Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint leaves, if desired.
