1
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 500 ml of fresh water to a rolling boil.
2
Steep Tea
Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach the ideal temperature (around 80°C). Add 2 tablespoons of Sencha green tea leaves to a teapot or infuser.
3
Add Water
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 2-3 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
4
Strain Tea
After steeping, strain the tea into a cup or pitcher to remove the leaves.

5
Add Honey
While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey until fully dissolved.
6
Add Lemon Juice
Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the tea and stir to combine.
7
Garnish
Add 5 fresh mint leaves to the tea for a refreshing aroma and taste.
