Advice

• Add honey to enhance the flavor of the drink.
• Can add lemon juice for better taste.
• It is recommended to use filtered water, especially if the tap water has a strange odor or taste.
• If the tea is light, you can brew the tea leaves until the taste is perfect.
• If you drink a lot of green tea, consider installing a hot water heater in the kitchen. The hot water temperature is perfect for making green tea.
• Coffee pot (if brewed more than one cup) or glass cup (if brewed one at a time) will help the tea cool quickly and reduce bitter taste.
• Some people shorten their prep time by heating the water in the microwave. However, tea connoisseurs do not recommend this method.
• Add a teaspoon of sugar if the tea is too bitter.
• To reuse green tea leaves (or buds), simply dip the tea filter in a cup of ice water right after brewing. Depending on the type of tea you use, you can reuse the green tea leaves or buds at least one more time.

Warning

• The biggest mistake when making green tea is keeping the tea in too hot water. Green tea, white tea or tea platinum differs from green tea in that it only needs to be brewed in about 80-85 degrees Celsius.
• The second big mistake is brewing the tea for too long. Green tea should not be brewed for more than 2-2.5 minutes. White tea and platinum tea should be brewed for a shorter time, about 1 and a half minutes is perfect.
