Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1–2 lemons)
2 cups ice cubes

For serving

lemon slices, for serving (optional)
fresh mint sprigs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 4 cups of water to 175°F (80°C) in a medium saucepan — just below a simmer, with small bubbles beginning to form at the bottom. Remove from heat.
2
Add the tea bags and steep for 2–3 minutes, until the tea is a pale golden-green. Remove and discard the bags without squeezing them.
