Method
Preparation
Boil the Water
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 4 tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the sweetened tea.
Cooling and Serving
Cool the Tea
Let the tea cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Once cooled, transfer the tea to a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled.
Serve the Iced Tea
To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup), pour the chilled tea over the ice, and garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices if desired.
