1
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add Tea
Once the water has reached a boil, remove it from heat. If using loose leaf tea, add 4 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or infuser. If using tea bags, place 4 bags into the pot.
3
Steep the Tea
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves or bags. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Adjust the time based on the type of tea being used.
4
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags or strain the loose leaf tea. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar to taste.
5
Add Lemon (Optional)
If desired, add a slice of lemon to the cup for an added citrus flavor.
6
Serve
Pour the brewed tea into cups and serve hot. Enjoy your soothing beverage!
