Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Brew the Tea

    Boil 4 cups of water in a pot. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 4 cups of Arbuckle's black tea. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Tea

    After steeping, remove the tea bags or strain the tea leaves. While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 cup of sugar until fully dissolved.

  3. 3

    Chill the Tea

    Let the sweetened tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 1-2 hours.

  4. 4

    Serve

    In a glass, add ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices to taste.
