Step 1, Making Tea
As fun as watching 4 quarts of water boil may be, you can speed up the tea making and cooling process by brewing a very strong tea with 2 quarts of water and combining it with the other 2 quarts of unheated water later.
1-1
Boil 2 quarts of water then set to low heat. Add your tea bags and brew for 10 minutes (I like a stronger tea so I let them go 15-20 minutes).
1-2
Remove the pot from heat and take out the tea bags. Press out all the water and herbal goodness from the tea bags using a couple spoons, not your fingers. They are HOT!
