1
Boil the Water
In a large pot, bring 16 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the 8 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
3
Sweeten the Tea
Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm. This helps dissolve the sugar into the tea.
4
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in 1 cup of fresh lemon juice to the tea for a refreshing citrus flavor.
5
Cool the Tea
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the tea to a gallon jug.
6
Serve
Add ice to the jug or serve over ice in individual glasses. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor.
