To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour hot water over the tea bag, ensuring the water is just off the boil for optimal flavor extraction. Allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag and discard. You can then add milk, sugar, honey, or a slice of lemon to taste. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice.
