Method

Brewing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Steep Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  3. 3

    Remove Tea Bags

    After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot. Discard the tea bags.

Serving the Tea

    If desired, add lemon slices, fresh mint leaves, and ice cubes to individual glasses.
