1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Steep the Tea
Once boiling, remove from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Cover and let steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags from the pot and discard them.

4
Add Sweetener
While the tea is still warm, add your desired sweetener (sugar, honey, or stevia) and stir until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

5
Prepare Lemon
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon into the brewed tea and stir well. Reserve the other half for garnish.

6
Cool the Tea
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.
7
Serve
In a glass, add 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour the chilled tea over the ice and garnish with a lemon slice. Serve immediately.
