A Perfect Green Tea
There are a few tricks to get the most out of your cup of green tea.
We should keep in mind for example that the water should not be too hot. A boiling temperature is excessive. Ideally you should see the first bubbles forming on the bottom of the pan. That's when you should take it off the heat.
The ideal time of steeping is 2-3 minutes, not less. Green tea is rather delicate, it takes time to develop its full aroma and healthy potential.
Some even say that cold steeping is the ideal way to extract all goodness and flavour from green tea.
Use good quality water. Tap water can taste bitter sometimes, in this case use bottled natural water. The difference can be quite surprising.
Tea in loose leaves is generally better than that in bags. There is some more work to do, but it is well worth it in terms of quality.
A dash of mint or a rind of lemon can help bring out the flavour.
