Few drinks hit the spot quite like a tall glass of iced black tea, and this version is as clean and refreshing as it gets. The key is pulling the bags at just the right moment — that deep amber sweet spot between bold and bitter — so every sip is smooth and satisfying. Water, tea, and ice are all it takes to build the base, making this a naturally pure choice that fits comfortably into a whole foods lifestyle without any compromise. A squeeze of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint takes it from simple to genuinely elegant, especially on a warm afternoon. It's the kind of drink that feels like a treat without requiring any special shopping or label-reading stress. Brew a pitcher, stash it in the fridge, and you've got a refreshing, zero-fuss beverage ready whenever you need it.

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the 4 tea bags, and steep for 4–5 minutes, until the tea is deep amber and full-flavored. Do not over-steep or the tea will turn bitter.
