A Gentle Cup of Green Mint Tea

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Cotterley Green Mint Tea
• 200ml water heated to 80C
• 1 220ml mug, warmed

Method

1. Warm a mug with hot water and tip it out.
2. Boil the kettle, then let it cool for a minute to about 80C; green tea wants it below boiling.
3. Add the bag, pour over 200ml and cover for three minutes.
4. Lift the bag out without squeezing it, as pressing a green tea bag pushes out bitterness.
5. Keep the water off the boil; too hot and both the green leaf and the mint turn harsh.
