Method

Tea Preparation

1

Boil the Water

In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

2

Add Loose Leaf Tea

Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 tablespoons of loose leaf tea directly into the pot.

3

Steep the Tea

Cover the pot and let the tea steep for about 5 minutes. Adjust steeping time for stronger or milder flavor.

4

Strain the Tea

After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer to pour the tea into cups, separating the leaves from the liquid.

Sweeten the Tea

If desired, add honey to taste for sweetness. Stir well to combine.

Add Lemon

Garnish with a slice of lemon for added freshness and flavor.

7
