Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a kettle, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Green Tea Leaves

    Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 2 minutes. This will bring the temperature down to about 175°F (80°C), which is ideal for green tea. Add 2 tablespoons of green tea leaves to the hot water.

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Cover the kettle and let the tea steep for about 2-3 minutes, depending on your taste preference. Steeping longer will result in a stronger flavor.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    After steeping, strain the tea leaves from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or a tea infuser. Pour the green tea into cups.

  5. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add honey and lemon slices to taste for added flavor.
