Ingredients
- Jasmine flowers
- 1 tablespoon, dried
- Green tea leaves
- 2 teaspoons, high-quality
- Water
- 2 cups
- Honey
- to taste, optional
- Sugar
- to taste, optional
Instructions
- Begin by bringing 2 cups of fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil in a pot or kettle. Using filtered water enhances the flavor of the tea.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat to avoid scorching the delicate tea leaves.
- Add 2 teaspoons of high-quality green tea leaves and 1 tablespoon of dried jasmine flowers to the hot water.
- Cover the pot with a lid to trap the aromatic steam, allowing the mixture to steep for about 5 to 7 minutes. This shorter steeping time preserves the vibrant flavors without becoming bitter.
- After steeping, strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to ensure all tea leaves and jasmine flowers are removed for a clean finish.
- If desired, sweeten your tea with honey or sugar to taste. Stir gently until fully dissolved.
- Serve the tea hot, and enjoy the calming experience it brings. Pair with light snacks such as almond cookies or scones for a delightful afternoon treat.
