Ingredients

• 4 cups Water
• 3 pieces Black tea bags
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 2 cups Ice cubes
• 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the water has reached a boil, remove the saucepan from heat and add the 3 black tea bags. Allow the tea bags to steep for 5 minutes.

Step 3

After 5 minutes, carefully remove and discard the tea bags to avoid over-steeping, which can make the tea bitter.

Step 4

Stir in 3 tablespoons of honey while the tea is still warm, ensuring the honey dissolves completely.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the tea and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Allow the tea to cool slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Fill a large pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes, then carefully pour the cooled tea over the ice. Stir gently to combine and further chill the tea.

Step 8

For serving, pour the tea into individual glasses over extra ice cubes for added chill, if desired.

Step 9

Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon slice for an elegant touch, if preferred.

Step 10

Enjoy your refreshing Mark's Honey Sweetened Tea!
