How to Make a Cup of Green Tea
To prepare a cup of green tea, follow these steps. First,
boil water to about 80°C (176°F); avoid using boiling
water as it can make the tea taste bitter. Place a green
tea bag or one teaspoon of loose green tea leaves into a
cup. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 2to 3 minutes. Do not steep for too long, as this can affect
the flavor. After steeping, remove the tea bag or strain
the leaves. Finally, enjoy your tea plain or add a touch of
honey if you prefer a bit of sweetness.
