Method

Brewing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of fresh water to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Add Tea Leaves or Bags

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 4 teaspoons of tea leaves or place 4 tea bags into the water.

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.

  4. 4

    Strain or Remove Bags

    If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a teapot or a cup. If using tea bags, simply remove the bags.

Adding Flavor

  1. 5

    Sweeten to Taste

    Add sugar or honey to the brewed tea according to your preference, stirring until fully dissolved.

  2. 6

    Add Lemon or Milk

    For a refreshing twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice. Alternatively, add milk if you prefer a creamier tea.
