Making Green Tea

Firstly you need to take stock of how many servings of green tea you will need. Use one teaspoon of tea leaves for one cup. So if you want 10 cups, it means ten teaspoons of tea leaves.

- Use pure water. Don’t use tap water. To purify water, you can use water from a water purifier

- Now boil the water at a moderate temperature. Otherwise it will make the green tea leaves lose its properties to extreme heat. This temperature is about 80 degrees celsius. To check this, you can use a simple logic. Water boils at 100 degrees celsius. So just take note that you don’t let water boil. Don’t boil the leaves along with the water. Keep the tea leaves separate.

- After you have sufficiently heated the water, place the tea leaves in a sieve or strainer over a mug. Pour the water into the sieve and let it pass over the tealeaves. The resultant water that comes through the sieve is flavored with green tea leaves.

- Serve and drink.
