1
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Add Tea
Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat. If using loose leaf tea, place it in a tea infuser or directly into the water. If using tea bags, simply add them to the hot water.
3
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.

4
Strain (if using loose leaf)
If you used loose leaf tea, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or remove the infuser.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
Add honey, lemon juice, milk, or cinnamon according to your taste preferences. Stir well to combine.
6
Serve
Pour the tea into cups and enjoy hot. You can also chill it for an iced tea version.
