1
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Add Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 4 tea bags to the water.
3
Steep the Tea
Let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.
4
Strain or Remove Tea Bags
If you used loose leaf tea, strain the tea into cups or a teapot. If you used tea bags, simply remove them.

5
Sweeten the Tea
Add honey or sugar to taste. Stir well to ensure it dissolves completely.
6
Add Lemon
For a zesty flavor, add a slice of lemon to each cup.
7
Garnish with Mint (Optional)
If desired, garnish with mint leaves for added freshness.
