To prepare, bring fresh, cold water to a boil. Place one tea bag in a mug or teapot. Pour the hot water over the tea bag. Allow it to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bag and enjoy. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and pour over ice. A squeeze of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint can enhance the flavor profile.

How to keep the rest
