To prepare, bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup into your teapot or mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. For a stronger brew, steep for a longer period. Remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves. Add milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to taste, or enjoy it black.
