Ingredients

• 4 cups water 💧

• 2 tablespoons green tea leaves (gunpowder tea) 🍵

• 1 cup fresh mint leaves 🌿

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste) 🍬

Directions

• Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• Rinse Tea Leaves: Place the green tea leaves in a teapot. Pour a small amount of boiling water over them, swirling gently, then discard the water. This step helps to remove any bitterness.

• Steep: Allow the tea to steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
• Serve: Pour the tea into small glasses from a height to create a frothy top, and add the remaining mint leaves as garnish.

Notes
