Put the tea bags into a teapot and pour in the simmering water mixture right away. As directed on the tea package, cover and steep for one to three minutes.

Tips and Notes

Squeeze the tea bag before discarding

Prior to discarding, make sure to squeeze the tea bags using a spoon against the kettle's side. This will release the last of the beneficial properties of the green tea leaves.

Be careful! Honey is sticking to everything

Honey can be difficult to remove from measuring cups because it adheres to everything. Honey should always be added before cold water. Until the honey is gone, submerge your measuring cup in the hot water.
