Tea Kettle To Boil Water
Two Minute Timer
One cup fresh, filtered water. Total dissolved solids range of 50-75 ppm, neutral pH of 7 is optimal.
One Green Tea Bag
Bring fresh, filtered cold water to a rolling boil.
Let water cool for one minute. Optimal brew temperature for green tea is 170 degrees.
Place tea bag into cup and pour water over. Let steep for ONLY two minutes, remove tea bag and discard. Do not squeeze tea bag as it releases bitter tannins that are best left in the bag.
Green tea is delicate and nuanced. We Americans tend to burn and over steep these. Follow the instructions above and you might find you DO like green tea!
