Tea Preparation
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes for a strong flavor.
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags from the water and discard them.
Sweetening Options
Sweeten the Tea
If you prefer sweet tea, add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the hot tea and stir until dissolved. For a different flavor, you can use 1 cup of honey instead.
Add Lemon
For a refreshing twist, add lemon slices to taste.
Serving
Chill the Tea
Let the tea cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serve Over Ice
In a glass, add 2 cups of ice cubes. Pour the chilled tea over the ice.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve with additional lemon slices on the side.
