3/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for about 5–7 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength.

            To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled strawberry sweet tea over the ice.
