Equipment

  • Kettle
  • Teapot or Mug with Infuser
  • Tea Strainer
  • Kitchen Timer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Loose Jasmine Tea Leaves
  • 1 cup Filtered Water
  • 1 tsp Raw Honey
  • 1 slice Fresh Lemon
  • 4 large Ice Cubes

Instructions
 

  1. Step 1

    Heat your water in the kettle to about 175°F. Don't let it boil, or the tea turns bitter fast.
  2. Step 2

    Warm your teapot with a splash of hot water first. Add your loose jasmine tea leaves now.
  3. Step 3

    Pour the hot water over the leaves gently. Set your timer for two to three minutes, no longer.
  4. Step 4

    Strain the tea into your favorite mug. Don't skip this step or you'll get soggy, bitter leaves.
  5. Step 5

    Stir in honey or add a lemon slice. Sip slow and enjoy the aroma.

Notes

➜ Use water under boiling point, or the tea turns bitter and flat.
➜ Steep for three minutes max, longer steeping pulls out more caffeine.
➜ Reuse your leaves twice, each brew has less caffeine than the last.
➜ Store leaves away from light, heat, and moisture for the best flavor.
➜ Choose jasmine pearls for a smoother, noticeably stronger cup of tea.
