How to Brew Loose Leaf Green Tea

teas.co.uk · 5 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 teaspoon Dilmah Ceylon Pure Green Loose Leaf Tea
• 200ml water heated to 80C
• 1 220ml mug, 1 small infuser

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 scalds and turns bitter at boiling point.
3. Put a heaped teaspoon of leaves in an infuser and lower it into the mug.
4. Pour the 80C water over, cover, and steep for three minutes.
5. Lift the infuser out; do not leave the leaves sitting in the water, or it will over brew and turn bitter.
