Tea Ingredients

Method

Brewing the Tea

1

Boil the Water

In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Ensure the kettle is covered to help the water boil faster.

2

Add Tea Leaves or Bags

Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of tea leaves or 2 tea bags directly into the hot water.

3

Steep the Tea

Cover the kettle and let the tea steep for about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

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 the bags.

5

Add Sweeteners (Optional)

If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar to the hot tea until dissolved.

6

Garnish (Optional)

Add a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves to each cup for extra flavor before serving.
