Green tea preparation guide :
Most high quality green teas are made of young tender tea leaf tips. The trick in preparing green tea is to avoid overcoking the tea leaves.
Quantity of tea leaves : about 1/2 tea spoon of the tea leaves per cup or 1 tea spoon per small tea pot.
Boil water then , then wait to let the water temperature drops down to around 85-90OC before adding to the tea vessel,
Allow to draw for at least 2 minutes before serving. (the strength of the tea could be adjusted to personal preference by adjusting the amount of the tea leaves put in)
Don’t put a lid on the teapot or cup ( to reduce the chance of stewing the tea).
Repeat infusions : The tea leaves can be used again for repeat infusions . ie for up to 3-4 times by just adding hot water. slightly increase brewing time with each extra infusion.
Boil Water, Put your Tea in A Mug or Cup, Pour boiling water into mug/cup, stir and Enjoy!! WARNING: Contents May Be Hot!
boil water… pour over the tea bag.. and let it sit for 5-7 minutes.. then take the tea bag out and drink it!
If you’re not smart enough to realize that you need to add hot water than maybe you shouldn’t be playing with it.
Just don’t eat the tea bag:-)
Just kidding:-) I drink more green tea than most people.After you add the hot water try it with cinnamon and honey.Not only does it taste great but you’ll also be getting more health benefits than you realize.Just google health benefits of honey and cinnamon.
Here’s to good health:-)
if you want to make it quick you:pour water into a mearuring cup or mug and heat it up in a microwave for a minute or so, take it out(and if it isn’t hot enough, put it in the microwave for as long as you think) and put the tea bag in. Oh and it might be hot so be cautious.
