Homemade iced tea made by refreshing brewed black tea with lemon and mint. This easy summer drink is a natural alternative to bottled iced tea, with sugar adjusted to taste.
Steep the tea bags in boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove them on time to prevent bitterness from oversteeping. Stir the sugar into the hot tea until dissolved.
Stir the cold water into the brewed tea. Once it reaches room temperature, chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Add the lemon juice and lightly crushed mint leaves. Fill glasses with ice, pour the iced tea over it, and serve.
Important: Tea becomes bitter if oversteeped, so watch the brewing time and remove the tea bags promptly. Adding ice before the tea is fully chilled will dilute it. It keeps for 2 days in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator.
