Ingredients
Method
Directions
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the saucepan. Be cautious as the bags will be hot.
Sweeten the Tea
While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste if desired.
Cool the Tea
Allow the sweetened tea to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can place it in the refrigerator to chill further for about 30 minutes.
Serve
In a glass, add 2 cups of ice cubes. Pour the chilled tea over the ice and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
