Tea Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Measure Loose Leaf Tea

    While the water is boiling, measure out 2 tablespoons of your chosen loose leaf tea.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tea Pot

    Place the measured loose leaf tea into a tea infuser or directly into the teapot if you prefer a more robust flavor.

Brewing

  1. 4

    Steep the Tea

    Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and pour it over the loose leaf tea in the teapot. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference.

  2. 5

    Strain the Tea

    If you used a tea infuser, remove it from the teapot. If you added the loose leaf tea directly, strain the tea into cups to eliminate the leaves.

Serving

  1. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add honey and/or lemon to taste. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Pour the brewed tea into cups and enjoy your loose leaf tea hot or allow it to cool for iced tea.
