Iced Tea Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Brew the Tea

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Let steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Tea

    After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  3. 3

    Cool the Tea

    Allow the sweetened tea to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the chilled sweetened tea over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves as desired.
