You make homemade iced tea by pouring hot water over black tea and steeping it for 4 minutes, then removing the leaves. You stir honey into the hot brew, let it cool and pour it into a jug with crushed mint and lemon slices. You chill everything in the fridge for at least 2 hours so the flavors blend. Before serving you fill glasses with ice and top them with the chilled drink.

Step by step process

Preparing and steeping

1
To make this homemade iced tea, bring the water to a boil in a kettle, then let it rest for a minute so the tea does not turn bitter.
2
Pour the hot water over the black tea and steep for 4 minutes. Then lift out the leaves or bags.

Flavoring and chilling

3
Stir in the honey until it dissolves, then let the brew cool down.
4
Gently bruise the mint between your palms to release its aroma and add it to a large pitcher with the lemon slices.
5
Pour the cooled tea into the pitcher, stir, and chill the iced tea in the fridge for at least 2 hours so the flavors mingle.
