1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Steep Tea Bags
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Cover and steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags and discard them. If you are adding sugar or honey, stir it in while the tea is still warm to help it dissolve.

4
Cool the Tea
Allow the brewed tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
5
Add Flavoring (if desired)
Once the tea is chilled, add lemon juice, fresh mint leaves, and peach slices for added flavor if desired.

6
Prepare Glasses
Fill each serving glass with ice cubes (about 1/2 cup per glass).
7
Pour Tea
Pour the chilled tea over the ice cubes in each glass.
8
Garnish
Garnish with lemon wedges and additional mint leaves if desired.
