How to make Green Tea
- Select a high-quality loose green tea that suits your taste preferences.
- Measure the Tea: Use 2-3 grams of loose green tea leaves per 8 oz (240 ml) of water. You can adjust the amount to your liking, but this ratio provides a good starting point.
- Heat water to the optimal temperature for green tea, which is between 160°F (71°C) and 170°F (77°C). Traditionally, Japanese green teas are brewed at lower temperatures (160°F/71°C), while Chinese green teas are brewed at higher temperatures (170°F/77°C).
- Use a teapot with a roomy interior to allow the tea leaves to unfurl and release their flavors. You can also use a teapot with a removable infuser.
- Steep the Tea: Pour the heated water over the loose green tea leaves in the teapot. Allow the tea to steep for 2-3 minutes, depending on your desired strength and flavor profile.
- Strain and Serve: Once the steeping time is up, carefully pour the tea into a cup or teapot strainer to remove the loose tea leaves. You can also use a tea infuser or strainer to contain the leaves.
