Add 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil.

Turn off the heat and add about 3 to 4 bags of your choice of tea. Don’t boil the tea.

Let the teabags infuse inside the water for up to 5 minutes. Don’t leave them in any longer or the tea will become very bitter.

After removing the teabags, pour the mixture into a pitcher. (If you want to add sugar this is when you would add it and stir in. Sugar dissolves fastest in hot water. Artificial sweeteners taste best if added to each individual glass when served.)

Let it cool down for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add 6 cups of cold water into the mixture to dilute the tea and make sure it’s not too strong. Stir it well.

Refrigerate the tea in a covered glass pitcher for at least 2 hours.

Add ice cubes inside tall glasses and pour the chilled tea on top.

Squeeze a slice of lemon for flavor as desired.

You can also add a sprig of mint if you like.

Add sweetener to taste.
