1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat. Add 4 teaspoons of tea leaves or 4 tea bags to the water. Cover and let steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Sweeten Your Tea
If you prefer sweet tea, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the brewed tea while it is still warm. Stir until fully dissolved.
4
Add Milk (Optional)
If you enjoy milk in your tea, pour in 1 cup of milk and stir gently to combine. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
5
Serve
Pour the brewed tea through a strainer into cups or teapots, and enjoy your freshly brewed tea hot.
