Loose Leaf Tea Pot Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Boil the Water

   In a kettle, bring 4 cups of fresh, filtered water to a boil. This will help extract the flavors from the loose leaf tea.

2. 2

   Measure the Tea

   Measure 2 tablespoons of loose leaf tea and place it in a tea infuser or directly into the teapot.

3. 3

   Steep the Tea

   Once the water has reached a boil, pour it over the loose leaf tea in the infuser or directly in the teapot. Cover and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.

4. 4

   Remove the Tea

   After steeping, remove the infuser or strain the tea to discard the loose leaves. Your tea is now ready to be served.

5. 5

   Add Optional Ingredients

   If desired, add honey, lemon slices, or milk to taste. Stir gently to combine.
