1
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

Add Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 teaspoons of black tea leaves or 4 tea bags. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea leaves or bags. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar, adjusting to taste.

Add Milk
Pour in 1 cup of milk and stir gently to combine. For a creamier texture, you can heat the milk before adding it.

5
Taste and Adjust
Taste the tea and adjust sweetness with honey, if desired. You can also add a cinnamon stick or lemon slices for additional flavor.
6
Serve Hot
Pour the hot tea into cups and serve immediately. Enjoy your hot tea pot!
