Method
Brewing Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Water
Begin by boiling 2 cups of fresh, filtered water in a kettle. Take care not to let it reach a rolling boil, as water that is too hot can scorch the delicate green tea leaves.
- 2
Measure the Tea
While the water is heating, measure out 2 teaspoons of high-quality green tea leaves. If you're using tea bags, one bag is typically equivalent to 2 teaspoons of loose leaf.
- 3
Steep the Tea
Once the water has reached the ideal temperature (around 175°F or 80°C), remove it from heat and let it cool for a minute. Pour the hot water over the green tea leaves in a teapot or cup.
