1
Boil Water
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil using a kettle or saucepan.
2
Steep Tea
Place 1 tsp of loose leaf tea (or 1 tea bag) into a teapot or mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea. Let it steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on the type of tea and desired strength.
3
Remove Tea
Remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves from the tea.

4
Add Sweeteners or Enhancements
Add honey or sugar to taste, a slice of lemon for brightness, or a splash of milk for creaminess, depending on the type of tea and personal preference.
5
Serve
Pour the tea into a cup and serve hot. Optionally, chill and serve over ice for iced tea.
