How to Brew Tetley Pure Green Tea

teas.co.uk · 4 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Tetley Pure Green Tea
• 200ml just off boil water cooled to about 80C (boil the kettle, then let it stand for roughly 90 seconds)
• Optional: 1 thin slice of lemon to brighten the cup

Method

1. Boil fresh water, then let the kettle stand for about 90 seconds so it drops to roughly 80C. Water at a full 100C scalds green tea and turns it bitter.
2. Put one Tetley Pure Green Tea bag in your mug and pour over 200ml of the cooled water.
3. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, no longer. Then lift the bag out and let it drain on its own. Do not squeeze it, as squeezing forces out the harsh tannins.
4. Drink it as it is. The natural sweet, vegetal notes need no milk or sugar. Add a thin slice of lemon only if you like a brighter cup.
5. The same bag takes a second short steep, giving a milder but still flavourful cup.
