Method

Preparing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Add Tea Leaves

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 2 tablespoons of green tea leaves. Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  3. 3

    Strain Tea

    After steeping, strain the tea into a teapot or heatproof pitcher to remove the leaves.

Enhancing Flavor

  1. 4

    Add Ginger

    While the tea is still warm, add 1 inch of sliced fresh ginger to the strained tea. Allow it to infuse for an additional 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mix in Lemon and Honey

    Stir in the juice of one lemon and 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup, adjusting to taste depending on your sweetness preference.

  3. 6

    Add Mint

    Finish by adding about 10 fresh mint leaves to the tea, which can be left whole or lightly crushed to release their aromatic oils.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot or Cold

    You can serve this tea hot immediately or allow it to cool and serve it over ice for a refreshing iced tea option.
