How to Make Brewed Iced Tea With Lemon
- Bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil in a teapot or large saucepan.
- Add 6-8 black tea bags (or 4 tablespoons loose leaf tea) to the boiling water. Steep for 2 hours, or until desired strength is reached.
- While the tea steeps, prepare your pitcher. Add 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste) and the juice of 2 large lemons to a 2-quart pitcher. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the tea has steeped, carefully pour it through a fine-mesh strainer into the pitcher with the lemon and sugar.
- Stir gently to combine. Add more water if desired to dilute the strength.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Serve over ice.
