1
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat. Add 4 black tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot. If you prefer sweet tea, add sugar, honey, or agave syrup at this point and stir until dissolved.
4
Cool the Tea
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

5
Prepare Glasses
Fill tall glasses with ice cubes.
6
Pour Tea
Pour the cooled tea over the ice in each glass.
7
Garnish (optional)
Add lemon slices and fresh mint leaves to each glass if desired for garnish.

Serve
Stir gently and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing iced black tea!
