1
Boil Water
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves. Cover and let steep for 3-5 minutes based on your desired strength.
3
Strain and Serve
After steeping, strain the tea into a cup to remove the leaves. Add honey to taste and stir until dissolved. If desired, add a slice of lemon for extra flavor.

4
Boil Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
5
Steep Tea
Once boiling, remove from heat and add 3 black tea bags. Cover and let steep for about 5 minutes, or until the desired strength is reached.
6
Add Sugar
Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely.

Cool and Serve
Allow the sweet tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice with a slice of lemon if desired.
