1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat. Add 4 black tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the saucepan and discard them.
4
Sweeten (Optional)
If you prefer sweetened iced tea, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar while the tea is still warm. Mix well until dissolved.

5
Cool Down
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
6
Prepare Glasses
In a tall glass, add 2 cups of ice cubes.
7
Add Flavor (Optional)
If desired, add lemon slices and mint leaves to the glass with ice for added flavor.
8
Pour Tea
Once the tea is chilled, pour it over the ice in the prepared glass.
9
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional lemon slices or mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
