- Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and add the tea bags. Allow them to steep for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
- After steeping, remove the tea bags. If you want a smoother taste, stir in the baking soda at this stage. This step is optional but highly recommended.
