  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    Bring 500 ml of fresh water to a boil in a kettle.

  2. 2

    Measure the Tea

    While the water is boiling, measure out 2 tablespoons of your chosen loose leaf tea blend.

    Once the water has reached boiling, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds. Pour the hot water over the loose leaf tea in a teapot or infuser. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
