Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

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

  2. 2

    Add Tea

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

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

  4. 4

    Strain the Tea

    If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups. If using tea bags, simply remove them from the pot.

  5. 5

    Add Sugar

    Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar to the hot tea, adjusting to taste.

  6. 6

    Add Milk or Lemon (Optional)

    If desired, add 1 cup of milk or a slice of lemon to each cup of tea for added flavor.
