4 black tea bags

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Juice of 2 fresh lemons

Lemon slices for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

    Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes for a stronger flavor.

      After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in the honey (or agave syrup) and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.

        Allow the tea to cool down to room temperature, then stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

          Transfer the tea into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least one hour or until chilled completely.

            When serving, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled tea over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
