1
Boil Water
In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and add 4 tablespoons of tea leaves or the equivalent number of tea bags.
3
Steep
Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep longer.
4
Strain
If using loose tea, strain the leaves using a fine mesh sieve or remove the tea bags.

5
Sweeten
Add sugar or honey to taste if desired, stirring well until dissolved.
6
Add Milk or Lemon
Pour in milk if you prefer a creamy tea, or add a slice of lemon for a citrusy touch.
7
Garnish
For an aromatic touch, add fresh mint leaves to the cup.
8
Serve
Pour the tea into cups and serve hot.
