Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 16 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the 8 black tea bags. Let the tea bags steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot and discard them.
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in 1 cup of lemon juice to the sweetened tea mixture.
Cool the Tea
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.
Serve Tea
Once chilled, fill a pitcher with 4 cups of ice cubes. Pour the cooled tea over the ice.
Garnish
Add lemon slices and mint leaves to the pitcher for garnish and extra flavor.
Enjoy
Stir the tea gently and serve in glasses over additional ice if desired.
