Brewing the Tea
- 1
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 1 cup of fresh water to a boil. Ensure that the water reaches at least 175°F (80°C) for optimal green tea brewing.

Steep the Tea
Cover the kettle or cup and let the tea steep for 2-3 minutes. This allows the flavors and nutrients to infuse into the water.
