1
Boil the Water
In a medium kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add Tea
Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and add 4 tsp of loose leaf tea or place the tea bags directly into the water.
3
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
4
Remove Tea Leaves or Bags
After steeping, remove the tea leaves or tea bags from the pot to prevent bitterness.

5
Add Sweetener
If using honey, stir in 1 tablespoon to taste. Adjust according to your preference.
6
Add Lemon
For a refreshing touch, add a slice of lemon to your cup of tea.
7
Add Milk
If you prefer creaminess, pour in 2 tablespoons of milk.
