Green Tea Recipe

This green tea is light, refreshing, and full of antioxidants. When brewed correctly, it has a smooth, slightly grassy taste without bitterness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) water
• 1 teaspoon green tea leaves or 1 green tea bag
• Optional: honey or lemon slice for added flavor

Directions

1. Heat water: Bring water to a near-boil (about 80–85°C or 175–185°F). Avoid boiling — too hot water makes green tea bitter.
2. Steep tea: Place green tea leaves or a tea bag into your cup. Pour hot water over it.
3. Steep time: Let it steep for 2–3 minutes (no more than 3 to avoid bitterness).
4. Remove tea: Strain out leaves or remove the tea bag.
5. Flavor (optional): Add honey or a lemon slice if desired.
6. Serve: Enjoy hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for iced green tea.
