Few drinks hit the way a tall glass of iced black tea does on a warm afternoon, and this version is clean, refreshing, and completely no-fuss. The key is steeping the bags just long enough to pull out that deep amber color and bold flavor without crossing into bitterness — a small detail that makes a big difference. Once the hot tea hits the ice and chills down in the fridge, you end up with something smooth and satisfying that tastes far better than anything bottled. A squeeze of lemon brightens the whole thing, and a sprig of fresh mint makes it feel almost fancy. It's naturally free of grains, sweeteners, and anything processed, so it fits right into a Whole30 reset without any label-reading stress. Whether you're sipping it solo or serving it alongside a meal, this is the kind of simple, honest drink that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation.

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.
