Method
Preparation
Brew the Tea
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Let steep for about 5-7 minutes.
Sweeten the Tea
Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely.
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in 1 cup of lemon juice to the sweetened tea.
Chill the Tea
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, about 1-2 hours.
Serve
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled tea over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
