Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    For Hot Tea

    Boil the water in a kettle. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags.

  2. 2

    For Iced Tea

    Follow the same steps as for hot tea. After steeping, let the tea cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour the tea over ice cubes in a glass.

Flavoring

  1. 3

    Add sugar and lemon juice to the hot tea while it's still warm, stirring until dissolved. For iced tea, add sugar and lemon juice after pouring over ice, adjusting to taste.

  2. 4

    For a refreshing mint flavor, add mint leaves to the hot tea while steeping, or add them directly to the iced tea before serving.
