Take water in a sauce pan. Bring it to a full boil. Add in the tea bags and let it boil for 1 minutes. Now remove it from heat and let the tea bags steep in the hot water for 5 minutes. Now remove the tea bags and press between 2 spoons to remove the extra tea. Discard the tea bags. The brewed tea will be red in colour.
