1
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags from the pot and discard them.

4
Add Sugar
If you prefer sweet tea, add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the hot tea and stir until completely dissolved.
5
Add Mint
For extra flavor, add 10 fresh mint leaves to the tea and let it steep for an additional 5 minutes.

6
Cool the Tea
Let the tea cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate until chilled.
7
Prepare Glasses
Fill 2 cups with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice.
8
Garnish
Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves if desired.
