Cook Time15 mins
Total Time15 mins
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 8 oz filtered water
- 2 tsp white tea less for bud tea, more for leaf tea
- 1 tsp honey optional
Instructions
- To make white tea, boil 8 ounces of water in a pot. Once boiled, remove it from the stove, add 2 teaspoons of white tea to it. In case you are using the bud of the plant Camellia sinensis, then use 2 teaspoons. If you are the leaf tea, you can increase the quantity anywhere between 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons.
- For best results, let the boiled water cool for a minute or two, or else the tea will become scalded and slightly astringent.
- Once the water cools slightly, steep the white tea leaves for 7-10 minutes for optimal flavor. The longer you let the tea steep, the stronger the flavor becomes.
- Add a sweetener of your choice, in this case, we recommend honey. However, this step is optional. Enjoy your cup of tea!
Notes
Avoid reusing the tea leaves as that can weaken the taste of your tea. If you are wary of the temperature of the tea, it is advisable to use a thermometer to gauge the correct temperature. If you are using hard water, be careful as it can affect the taste.
