1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 4 teaspoons of tea leaves or 4 tea bags. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
3
Sweeten (Optional)
If you prefer your tea sweetened, stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely.
4
Add Milk or Lemon (Optional)
For a creamier tea, add 1 cup of milk. Alternatively, you can add a slice of lemon for a refreshing citrus flavor.
5
Strain and Serve
If you used loose tea leaves, strain the tea into cups. If you used tea bags, simply remove them. Serve hot, and enjoy!
