Method
Preparation
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
Add Tea
Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and add 4 teaspoons of tea leaves or 4 tea bags. Cover the pot and let it steep for 5 minutes.
Strain Tea
After steeping, if using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups to remove the leaves. If using tea bags, simply remove the bags.
Flavoring
Add Lemon Juice
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the tea for a refreshing touch. Stir gently.
Optional Milk
If desired, add 1 cup of milk to the tea for a creamier texture. Stir well to combine.
