Green tea is one of the most popular and healthy drinks in the world, with a millennia-old history dating back to China. Unlike black tea, green tea is not fermented, which allows it to retain a greater amount of antioxidants and beneficial properties for health. In this recipe you will learn how to prepare a perfect green tea, highlighting its smooth and slightly herbaceous flavor.
The key to a good green tea lies in the water temperature and steeping time. For this recipe, you will need one tablespoon or one tea bag of green tea per cup, and sugar to taste. Boil water and let it rest for a few minutes to lower the temperature (ideally around 80°C). Pour the water over the tea and let it steep for 5 minutes. Then, sweeten to your liking and enjoy.
This tea is perfect for those looking for a comforting hot drink, rich in antioxidants and with a natural touch. It is ideal to accompany breakfast or an afternoon snack, and can be enjoyed both alone or with a touch of lemon or honey.
