Instructions
Place 8 cups of water and the tea bag into the liner of the Instant Pot. (If using sugar, it can be added now and stirred until dissolved or added later.)
8 cups water, 1 tea bag, ¼ cup granulated sugar
Close the lid, set the valve to the sealing position, and use the manual (pressure cook) button to adjust the time to 4 minutes.
After the time is up, allow a natural release for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the lid. *The contents will likely still be boiling and will definitely be hot and steaming.
Remove the tea bag using a slotted spoon. If you didn't add sugar before brewing the tea, it can be added now.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, add ice, or carefully transfer to a heat-safe container and move to the refrigerator to cool.
Serve cold and garnish with lemon if desired! Tea is good for 2-3 days when kept in a container with a lid in the refrigerator.
