Making the perfect cup of green tea is little of a tricky
process. If not handled properly, those same polyphenols that provide health
benefits can ruin the flavor, making the tea taste "grassy" and awkward.
It's particularly important not to over brew green tea.
While it's best to
follow the manufacturer's instructions for each variety of green tea, here are
some general instructions:
- Use one tea bag, or 1-2 tsp. of tea, per
cup.
- After boiling, allow water to stand for up to 2 minutes.
- Pour the heated water over the tea bag or tea, and allow
it to steep for up to 2-3 minutes. If using a tea bag, then dip it for 8-10 times after steeping and remove the bag.
- Allow the tea to
cool for another one more minute before enjoying it.
N.B: If you feel discomfortable with the bitter taste, added few drops of lemon.
