1
Boil Water
Start by bringing 1 cup of fresh water to a boil in a kettle. Ensure the water reaches a temperature of about 175°F (80°C) for optimal green tea infusion.
2
Steep Tea Leaves
Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and let it sit for about 1-2 minutes to cool slightly. Add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves to a teapot or infuser and pour the hot water over the leaves.
3
Infuse
Allow the tea to steep for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the flavors and beneficial compounds of the tea to be extracted without becoming bitter.
4
Strain and Serve
After steeping, strain the tea into a cup. If using loose leaves, remove the infuser or strain the leaves out.

5
Add Honey
If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey for sweetness. Adjust according to taste.
6
Add Lemon Juice
Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice for a citrusy flavor that complements the tea.
7
Garnish with Mint
For a refreshing touch, add a few mint leaves to your cup before serving.
