Ingredients

  • 2 tsp gunpowder green tea
  • fresh mint
  • 3 brown sugar cubes

Method

Put a bunch of fresh mint in your pot, then place the strainer over the top and add 3 cubes of brown sugar.

Add 2 tsp of gunpowder green tea to your pot and pour over water at 80 degrees Celsius.

Leave it for 3 minutes to brew. Do not leave it any longer as it will make the green tea bitter.

Finally aerate the tea by pouring it into the cups from a height.
