Method
Preparing the Tea
- 1
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 2 cups of water to a near boil (about 175°F or 80°C). Do not let it reach a full rolling boil, as that can make the tea taste bitter.
- 2
Add Tea Leaves
Once the water is heated, remove it from the heat and add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves to the water.
- 3
Steep Tea
Allow the tea leaves to steep in the hot water for about 2-3 minutes. Adjust the steeping time according to your taste preference; less time for a lighter flavor, more time for a stronger flavor.
- 4
Strain Tea
After steeping, use a fine strainer or tea infuser to strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups, discarding the leaves.
