1
Boil the Water
Pour 4 cups of water into a pot and place it on the stove over high heat. Allow the water to come to a rolling boil.
2
Add Tea Leaves or Bags
Once the water is boiling, add 4 tsp of tea leaves or 4 tea bags to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
3
Sweeten the Tea
After the tea has steeped for the desired time, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the pot. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
4
Add Milk
Pour in 1 cup of milk into the pot. Stir the mixture gently and let it heat for an additional 2 minutes, or until it reaches your desired temperature.
5
Serve
Remove the pot from heat. If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into cups. If using tea bags, remove the bags. Serve hot, optionally garnished with a slice of lemon.
