1
Boil Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2
Add Tea Leaves or Bags
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add either the tea leaves or tea bags to the water.
3
Steep the Tea
Cover the pot and let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
