First of all, you need to make sure the water you are using has the perfect temperature. You have to make sure that the water is not too hot but not too cold. There is a certain temperature that the water should have when you want to make green tea. It depends as well on the type of the green tea leaves you have, but normally it is between 65 to 73 degrees Celsius.
The second thing you should know about how to make green tea is the brew time. Normally it won’t take you more than 2 minutes, but again it depends on the type of green tea you have. Its recommend you read the instruction on the tea box before you start making the tea. Please pay attention to this step as it is very important. The brew time will determine the taste of the tea. If you brew the tea for too much then it will have a bitter taste.
The last but not the least you need a specifically designed tea pot that has enough space for the tea leaves to expand. You can as well improve and use one of your normal pots, but a Japanese tea pot will do the trick.
Now let get started with the instructions on how to make green tea.
Step 1:
Boil the water at the certain temperature, usually not more than 70 degrees (Celsius). Make sure you are using a clean tea pot and not the one you used for your morning coffee. We don’t want to mix the tastes. This aspect is very important on how to make green tea.Step 2
Prepare the tea pot and the tea leaves as mentioned on how to make a cup of tea. It is easy and will take you only 2 minutes. You need a tea spoon, tea leaves and a tea cup where you will make the tea.Step 3
After the water has reached the desired temperature pour the water into the tea cup where the tea leaves are. If you have boiled the water too much, don’t worry, just leave it for a minute or two to cool down a bit. Check it from time to time to make sure the water will not get too cold though.Step 4
If you want to know how to make green tea step 4 is a very important step. Now is the time for the tea to brew. Leave it like this for 2 minutes. Depending on the green tea leaves, you can leave it for another extra minute if you wish.Step 5
After the 2 minutes have passed, take out the tea leaves and enjoy your cup of tea. You can sweeten your tea as well if you prefer. I cannot drink it without sugar even if I have read so many times that it is better this way. If you want to lose weight then I recommend you use honey or some sugar free sweetener you can buy in the shop.It is not very difficult to know if you have all the details you need on the specific type of tea you are using, like the water’s temperature and the brewing time.
