To prepare, simply heat fresh, cold water to the appropriate temperature for black tea, typically just off the boil. Place a tea bag or loose tea leaves in a mug or teapot. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for the recommended time, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. You can add sweetener, milk, or lemon to taste. For a refreshing iced tea, brew a stronger batch and chill it before serving over ice.

How to keep the rest

This will help preserve its freshness and prevent the flavors from degrading over time. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to maintain the aromatic qualities of the tea.
