Begin by brewing the tea. Add the tea bags to a large heat-safe pitcher. Add the water to a saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Then, pour the hot water into the pitcher with the tea bags. Steep the tea for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags.
Step 2
Stir in the sweetener until fully dissolved. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze to release all the juice, and discard any seeds. Add the lemon juice to the pitcher, close, and shake until well-mixed.
Step 3
Slice the remaining half of the lemon and add the lemon slices to the pitcher. Then, add ice to a serving glass. Pour the iced tea over the ice and serve immediately.
