Method
Brewing the Tea
Boil the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot and discard them.
Sweetening and Flavoring
Add Sweetener
If desired, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar or honey while the tea is still warm to help it dissolve completely.
Add Flavorings
Stir in 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, fresh mint leaves, or peach slices for additional flavor, if desired.
Chilling and Serving
Chill the Tea
Allow the brewed tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until thoroughly chilled.
Serve over Ice
Fill glasses with ice cubes (about 1 cup of ice per glass) and pour the chilled tea over the ice.
Garnish
Garnish with lemon slices and additional mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your iced tea with free refills!
