Simple Green Tea

Name: Simple Green Tea
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 1 servings
Ingredients: Green tea

This is just how to make green tea at home. No fancy stuff, just the basics. Good if you want something warm and simple.

What You'll Need

Boil some water, about a cup for each person. You can use a kettle or a small pot, whatever you have.
Turn the water off as soon as it starts bubbling. You don’t want it rolling crazy hot, just hot enough. Super hot water can make green tea taste kinda bitter.
Put a green tea bag (or about a spoon of loose green tea) into your favorite mug.
Pour the hot water over the tea. Just cover it.
Let it sit for about 2 to 3 minutes. If you let it sit too long, it gets bitter. If you like it stronger, wait a tiny bit longer.
Take out the bag or strain the leaves.
That’s it. You can drink it as is. Sometimes I add a tiny bit of honey or a slice of lemon, just for fun.

Enjoy your tea!

Don’t use boiling water or the tea turns bitter, just let the water cool for a bit after boiling
If you don’t have a bag, loose tea works. Just put it in, then strain it out.
If you forget about it and it’s too strong, just add a bit more hot water to fix it.
Great with honey if you want it sweet, or a little lemon if you want zing.
Works in the microwave, honestly. Just heat water in the mug, pop the bag in after.
