Iced Tea Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Brew the Tea

    In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Let steep for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Tea (Optional)

    If you prefer sweet tea, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm. Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Cool Down

    Allow the brewed tea to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour chilled tea over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.
