How to Prepare Green Tea

Waktu nak masuh UTM awal-awal sem dulu, biaselah beli stok makanan kat rumah banyak-banyak. And then dekat kabinet dapur tu ade banyak lah teh-teh dari India yang tak dibuka lagi sebab orang kt rumah semua jenis minum kopi. So, since I like tea very much, and tak sampai hati nak tengok daun teh ni dibiarkan expired begitu sahaja, maka bawak lah Mint Green Tea pergi UTM dengan harapan dapat minum teh hari-hari nanti badan jadi kurus.

Last-last, teh ni pun ditolak tepi sebab terlalu malas busy nak masak air. So, sebelum semester tahun ni berakhir, tergeraklah hati nak buat mint green tea tu. Rupe-rupenye kat dalam sachet ni ade bagi steps nak buat green tea. So ini lah dia step-step nak buat teh:

1. The first important thing is water. Try to use distilled water or spring water if possible, but never the tap water.
2. Secondly the water temperature. The temperature should be in between 80 to 90 degree Celsius. The best method to get this temperature is - let kettle sit for four to five minutes after the water boils.
3. Use approximately one teaspoon full or 2 grams of tea per cup to make perfect tea and add a little cold water over the dry leaf before adding freshly boiled water of 80 to 90 degree Celsius temperature.
4. Now pour the not so boiled water on the tea leaves or bags and infuse it 1-2 minutes (depending on the personal preference of the drinker) and ensure that the tea leaves are floating freely in water.
5. After adding water to the tea, cover the cup or pot so that the volatile essential chemical compounds don't evaporate and get lost to the air.
6. After 1-2 minutes infusion remove tea leaves or bags from the cups or pot and wait another 3-4 minutes. Surprisingly it tastes good at room temperature.
7. Enjoy your cup of tea.
