Method
Brewing Tea
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 tsp of tea leaves or 1 tea bag. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
Strain or Remove Tea Bag
If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a cup or pot, discarding the leaves. If using a tea bag, simply remove the bag.
Flavoring the Tea
Add Sweetener
Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey to taste. Adjust sweetness as desired.
Add Milk or Cream (Optional)
If you prefer a creamier tea, add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream and stir well.
Add Lemon or Mint (Optional)
For additional flavor, add a slice of lemon or a few mint leaves to your cup.
