1.Heat water between 170 and 176 °F (77 and 80 °C). If you're using a stovetop or electric water kettle, bring the water to a boil and then turn off the heat. Let the water cool for about 5 minutes so the temperature is between 170 and 176 °F (77 and 80 °C).[6]
Always start with water that you haven't boiled before. This will help the leaves open as the tea steeps.
2.Place 1 teaspoon (2 g) of loose-leaf CHINA GREEN TEA into a small teapot. You can use a small measuring spoon or a digital scale to measure the loose leaves for your tea. Put the leaves directly into the teapot or into the infuser basket if your teapot has one.[7]
If you have time, you can pour hot water into the teapot to warm it up. Then, pour out the water and place the tea leaves in the bottom.
Variation: For a much stronger cup of tea, use around 1 tablespoon (5 to 6 g) of loose leaf tea.
3.Pour 3⁄4 cup (180 ml) of the hot water over the leaves. You should see the leaves begin to unfurl as the heat from the water causes them to open. If your teapot has a lid, place it on top of the pot to trap the steam.
You could also place a small saucer over the top of the teapot to prevent the steam from escaping.
4.Steep the green tea for 1 to 2 minutes. Set a timer for 1 minute and then use a spoon to taste the tea. If you like the flavor, you can stop the infusion or continue to steep the tea until it's strong enough for your taste.
If you're using 1 tablespoon (5 g) of tea leaves, steep the tea for a much shorter time. Try tasting it in 10-second increments until it's as flavorful as you like.
5.Strain the leaves or remove the infuser basket and drink the tea. You can lift the basket out of the tea so the excess drips into the pot. If your teapot doesn't have an infuser basket, set a tea strainer over a small teacup and slowly pour the green tea into your cup. Sip the tea while it's hot.
Note:Squeeze a little lemon or stir some honey into the tea if you'd like to add a bright flavor.
You can save the tea leaves and brew 1 to 2 more pots of tea with them. Keep in mind that each additional brew will need less steeping time since the leaves are already opened.
