1
Prepare the Water
Start by boiling the filtered water in a kettle. Aim for a temperature of about 175°F (80°C) as Bai Mu Dan is a delicate tea that should not be brewed with boiling water.
2
Measure the Tea Leaves
While the water is heating, measure out 2 teaspoons of Bai Mu Dan white tea leaves. Place them in a teapot or an infuser.
3
Pour Water over Tea Leaves
Once the water has reached the appropriate temperature, pour it carefully over the tea leaves in the teapot or infuser.
4
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for about 4-6 minutes. This will help to extract the delicate flavor and aroma of the Bai Mu Dan.
5
Strain and Serve
After the steeping time is complete, strain the tea into a cup. If desired, add honey or sugar to taste before enjoying.
