Herbal Ice Tea

Boil 1 gallon of filtered water in a large pot or kettle until it reaches a rolling boil.

Remove the pot from heat and add the 3 flavored herbal tea bags (peppermint, strawberry, and lemon) to the hot water.

Let the tea bags steep in the hot water for 3–5 minutes, then remove and discard them.

Stir in sugar or sugar substitute to taste while the tea is still warm, adjusting sweetness as desired.

Pour the brewed tea into a large pitcher or serving container and allow it to cool to room temperature, about 10–15 minutes.

Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the cooled herbal tea over the ice.

Serve immediately and store any remaining tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
