Strain the brewed tea into a clean pitcher and discard the tea leaves.
4
Stir in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until completely dissolved (adjust to taste if you prefer sweeter or less sweet). Use warm tea to help dissolve sugar.

Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.

Chill the tea in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until cold.

When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the iced tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
