Tea Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure the Tea Leaves

    Use a tablespoon to measure 2 tablespoons of Japanese green tea leaves. Place them in a tea infuser or directly in your teapot.

  2. 2

    Heat the Water

    In a kettle, bring 2 cups of fresh, filtered water to a temperature of about 175°F (80°C). Avoid boiling the water to preserve the delicate flavors of the green tea.

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Once the water reaches the desired temperature, pour it over the tea leaves in the infuser or teapot. Allow the tea to steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    If using a tea infuser, remove it from the teapot. If the leaves were placed directly in the teapot, pour the tea through a strainer into cups. Serve immediately.
