Preparation Steps

1. Boil the Water

In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

2. Add Tea

Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of tea leaves or 2 tea bags to the water.

Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes for black tea, 3 minutes for green tea, or according to package instructions for herbal tea.

4. Strain the Tea

If using loose leaf tea, strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups to remove the leaves. If using tea bags, simply remove the bags.

5. Sweeten to Taste

Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar, adjusting to your taste preference.

6. Add Lemon and Milk

Add lemon slices for a citrusy flavor and milk if desired, stirring gently.
