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

Method

1. Warm the green mint mug with hot water, then empty.
2. Boil the kettle and let it come down to around 80C, as green mint wants water below boiling; a thermometer or temperature control kettle helps.
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.
