Tea Ingredients

Method

Tea Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove the kettle from heat and add 4 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 4 tea bags.

  3. 3

    Steep Tea

    Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes depending on the desired strength. The longer you steep, the stronger the tea will be.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the Tea

    After steeping, remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea. Add sugar or honey to taste, stirring until dissolved.

  5. 5

    Add Flavor

    Add lemon slices and fresh mint leaves (if using) to the tea for an added flavor boost.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Pour the tea into cups and serve hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for iced tea.
