Beverage Preparation
Brew the Tea
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 6 black tea bags. Let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes.
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully dissolved. If you prefer a sweeter tea, you can adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
Cool the Tea
Add 4 cups of cold water to the sweetened tea to dilute. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Add Lemon Juice
Once the tea is chilled, stir in 1 cup of lemon juice. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional sweeteners if desired.
Serving Preparation
Prepare Ice and Garnish
In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, add 12 cups of ice cubes. Optionally, prepare lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
Combine and Serve
Pour the chilled tea and lemonade mixture over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
