Instructions

1 Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add the tea
bags. Let them steep for 10 minutes.
2 Take out the tea bags. If you like sweet tea, stir in the sugar while the tea is
still hot until it's dissolved.
3 Pour the remaining 4 cups of water into the tea. Refrigerate until fully
chilled, which takes about an hour.
4 Serve over ice with lemon slices and fresh mint, if you like.
