Steps

In a large pot over, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep the tea for 4 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and discard. If you prefer sweet tea, add the sugar or your preferred sweetener of choice to the tea and stir until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a pitcher and stir in 4 cups of water. Taste and add more sugar if desired. Chill until ready to serve, about 1 hour.
Serve over ice with a lemon wedge if using. Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
