How to Make Green Tea

Green tea is slightly more difficult to brew than other teas since it is more delicate and can easily become bitter. I follow these rules to ensure a non-bitter tea:

• Start with a high quality organic green tea
• Use water between 175-180°F
• Ideally, use a tea kettle and place the tea leaves in the kettle before adding the water. I use 2 teaspoons of tea per cup (8 ounces) of water.
• Steep for only 1-2 minutes before pouring into a cup. Some tea kettles have a built in strainer, or else tea can be poured through a strainer.
• To make iced tea, use the same amounts and pour over a cup of ice before consuming.
