1
Steep the Tea
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 8 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
2
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the saucepan and discard them.

3
Combine Sugar and Water
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

4
Mix Tea and Syrup
In a large pitcher, pour the brewed tea and add the cooled sugar syrup. Stir well to combine.
5
Add Cold Water
Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir again until everything is well mixed.
6
Add Flavor
Add lemon slices and mint leaves to the pitcher for added flavor. Stir gently to incorporate.

7
Chill
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to chill and allow flavors to meld.
8
Serve
Serve over ice and garnish with additional lemon and mint, if desired. Enjoy your refreshing iced tea!
