Green Tea Recipe

Brewing the Tea

1. 1

   Boil Water

   In a kettle, bring 2 cups of fresh water to a boil. Ensure not to boil for too long, as water that is too hot can scorch the green tea leaves.

2. 2

   Add Tea Leaves

   Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 1-2 minutes. Then, add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves to the hot water.

3. 3

   Steep the Tea

   Cover the kettle or teapot and allow the tea to steep for 2-3 minutes. Avoid steeping for too long to prevent bitterness.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   After steeping, strain the tea into a cup, discarding the leaves. If desired, add a teaspoon of honey for sweetness and a slice of lemon for added flavor.
