Ingredients

8 cup water
16 teaspoon black tea

Directions

Boil the water and add the tea leaves. Steep for three to four minutes and strain. The only hard-and-fast rule here? Remove the tea before it starts getting bitter: The longer a tea steeps, the more tannins are released, and tannins are the culprit behind the tea’s bitterness. Allow to cool before refrigerating.
