Few drinks hit the spot like a tall glass of iced black tea, and this version is as clean and refreshing as it gets. Brewed strong to a deep amber color, then quickly chilled over ice, it delivers that bold, slightly tannic flavor without any bitterness — as long as you pull the bags before they overstay their welcome. There are no syrups, additives, or flavored blends to worry about here, just pure brewed tea with water and ice, making it naturally free from any unwanted extras. A squeeze of lemon brightens the whole thing up, and a sprig of fresh mint makes it feel almost fancy. It's the kind of drink that works equally well as a midday refresher or alongside a full spread at the dinner table. Simple, satisfying, and completely fuss-free to put together.
