Exact quantities, then the method.
If you want Green Tea with hardly any caffeine, this is the one: a cold brew made from decaf leaf, giving you the smooth, sweet character of a slow cold steep with only the trace of caffeine decaf leaf still carries. Cold water and time pull out the gentle flavours and leave any harshness behind.
