Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. It is best to use fresh, cold water for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Add Tea Leaves or Tea Bag

    Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat and add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves or 1 tea bag.

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Allow the tea to steep for 2-3 minutes. Steeping for too long may result in a bitter taste.

  4. 4

    Strain or Remove Tea Bag

    If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a cup. If using a tea bag, simply remove the bag from the cup.

  5. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon of honey and/or 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Enjoy your freshly brewed cup of green tea while it is warm.
