Green Tea

Ingredients

• 2 cups water (not boiling)
• 2 green tea bags or 2 tsp loose green tea
• Honey (optional)

Method

1. Heat the water until just below boiling — full boiling water makes green tea taste bitter and grassy, so aim for small bubbles just starting to form.
2. Pour the hot water over the tea bags or loose leaves in cups or a teapot.
3. Steep for 2-3 minutes only; oversteeping is the most common cause of bitterness.
4. Remove the tea bags or strain out the leaves.
5. Add honey if you like a touch of sweetness, and serve hot.
