Method

Brewing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Steep Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes for a strong flavor.

  3. 3

    Remove Tea Bags

    After steeping, remove the tea bags from the pot and discard them. If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, you can leave the bags in for an additional minute.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 4

    Cool the Tea

    Let the brewed tea cool to room temperature. For faster cooling, you can transfer it to a pitcher and place it in the refrigerator.

  2. 5

    Prepare Glasses

    Fill a glass with ice cubes. You can also add lemon slices and mint leaves for added flavor.

  3. 6

    Pour and Sweeten

    Once the tea is cool, pour it over the ice-filled glass. If desired, add honey or your choice of sweetener to taste.

  4. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with additional lemon slices or mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing iced unsweet tea!
