Method
Preparation
- 1
Measure and Heat Water
Start by measuring 2 cups of fresh, cold water. Pour the water into a kettle and heat it until it reaches about 175°F (80°C). This is the ideal temperature for brewing green tea to avoid bitterness.

Prepare Tea Leaves
While the water is heating, measure out 2 tablespoons of high-quality green tea leaves. If using tea bags, simply take out 2 bags.

Steep the Tea
Once the water has reached the desired temperature, pour it over the tea leaves in a teapot or a heat-resistant container. Allow the tea to steep for about 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust steeping time based on your taste preference; shorter for a lighter flavor, longer for a deeper taste.

Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea leaves using a fine mesh strainer or remove the tea bags if using. This will give you a clear, beautiful green tea.
