Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a kettle or saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Green Tea Leaves

    Once the water has reached a boil, remove it from the heat and add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves to the water.

  3. 3

    Steep the Tea

    Allow the green tea leaves to steep in the hot water for 2-3 minutes. This will help extract the flavor and health benefits from the leaves.

  4. 4

    Strain the Tea

    After steeping, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser to remove the leaves, pouring the liquid into a cup.
