2.Strain the tea through a tea strainer and stir in the sugar until it dissolves. Let it cool to room temperature.
3.You can squeeze a bit of lemon into the brewed tea or muddle some fresh lemon slices to keep the tea clear. Fill a tall glass with ice and fresh lemon slices, then pour the tea over it and enjoy!

Tips for Clear Tea:

Avoid Over-Brewing: Follow the brewing instructions on the tea package, as different brands have different times.
Handle Tea Bags Gently: If using tea bags, don't squeeze them hard. For loose tea, avoid pressing or stirring too much.
Cool Quickly: Pour the tea over a lot of ice immediately after brewing, instead of letting it chill in the refrigerator.
