Bring a pot of Water to a rolling boil.

Remove the pot from heat and add the Black Tea; cover and steep for 5–8 minutes, or longer for a stronger brew.

While the tea is still hot, stir in Granulated Sugar to taste until fully dissolved (start with about 1/4–1/3 cup per quart and adjust as desired).

Let the sweetened tea cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1–2 hours.
5
To serve, fill glasses with Ice and pour the chilled sweet tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon or mint if you like.
