Equipment

1 Teapot or Teacup
1 Kettle
1 Tea Infuser

Ingredients

▢ 2 cups 500ml water (fresh and filtered)
▢ 2 teaspoons 5g jasmine green tea (loose leaf or in a tea bag)
▢ 1 tablespoon 15ml honey (optional, for sweetness)
▢ 1 slice optional lemon (for serving)

Instructions

Boil the water in a kettle until it reaches a rolling boil.
Remove the kettle from heat and let the water cool for about 1 minute. The ideal temperature for green tea is around 175°F (80°C).
Add the jasmine green tea to a teapot or tea infuser.
Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 3-4 minutes depending on your taste preference.
If using a tea infuser, remove it after steeping. If using loose tea, strain the tea into cups.
Add honey and lemon slice if desired, and enjoy your fragrant jasmine tea!

Notes

To enhance the flavor of your jasmine tea, consider using high-quality loose leaf tea rather than tea bags.

For a more intense jasmine flavor, let the tea steep for a few extra minutes.

This tea can be served with honey or lemon for added sweetness and flavor.
