Brewing Twinings Little Lift (Green Tea with Lemongrass and Ginger)
How to brew Twinings Little Lift green tea at around 80C for a lively cup with lemongrass and a hint of ginger.
Twinings Little Lift is a Green Tea and Matcha blend lifted with lemongrass and a little ginger. Like any green tea it dislikes boiling water, so let the kettle settle to around 80C first, then keep the steep short. Done that way it stays fresh and a touch warming, never bitter.
