Ingredients
Instructions
8 cups of water (filtered or spring water, not tap water)
1.5 cups sugar
3 teaspoons Cup & Leaf Black Tea
Ice cubes
Lemon wedges
Turn the stove to high heat and bring water and sugar to a rapid boil in a large saucepan.
Reduce heat to a simmer and add the tea leaves to the boiling water using a tea strainer.
Simmer the hot water for 3 to 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
Let the tea steep until the water mixture reaches room temperature. The longer steeping time allows the tea to develop a rich, bold flavor.
Remove the tea leaves and pour into a large glass pitcher. Serve immediately over ice cubes and garnish with lemon slices or store in the refrigerator.
