Method
Preparation
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Add Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and add 4 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 4 tea bags to the water.
Steep Tea
Cover the pot and let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Remove Tea Bags or Strain
After steeping, if using tea bags, simply remove them. If using loose leaf tea, strain the tea into a serving pot or directly into cups.
Serving
Add Flavorings
Add 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to taste. Stir well until honey is fully dissolved.
Add Milk (Optional)
If you prefer a creamier tea, add 1 tablespoon of milk to each cup before serving.
Serve
Pour the tea into cups and serve hot. Enjoy your freshly brewed tea!
