Method

Brewing Tea

1

Boil Water

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

2

Steep Tea

Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 10 black tea bags to the pot. Let the tea bags steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

3

Remove Tea Bags

After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags and discard them.

Sweetening the Tea

4

Add Sugar (for Sweet Tea)

While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully dissolved. This step is essential for sweet tea.

5

Prepare Lemon Slices

If desired, cut 5 lemon slices for garnish or to add a citrus flavor to your tea.

Cooling and Serving

6

Cool the Tea

Allow the sweetened or unsweetened tea to cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by placing the pot in the fridge.

7

Serve

Pour the tea into glasses over ice. If you made sweet tea, you can add lemon slices for extra flavor. Enjoy your refreshing beverage!
