To prepare, bring fresh, cold water to a boil. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup into your mug or teapot. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. For a richer flavor, you can steep for a bit longer. It is often served hot, but can also be cooled and served over ice.
