Gunpowder tea

🔥 Prep

• Measure out 1 tsp of Gunpowder tea (rolled green tea leaves).
• Measure out 200 ml of water.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Place the 200 ml of water in a kettle or saucepan and heat to a rolling boil (100°C).
• 2. While the water heats, place the 1 tsp of Gunpowder tea into a teapot or infuser.
• 3. Once the water reaches a boil, pour it over the tea leaves.
• 4. Allow the tea to steep for 2 minutes to extract the flavor.
• 5. After steeping, remove the tea leaves or infuser to prevent over‑brewing.
• 6. Optionally, let the tea cool for 30 seconds if a slightly lower drinking temperature is desired.

🔥 Serve

• Pour the brewed Gunpowder tea into a pre‑warmed teacup.
• Enjoy plain, or add a slice of lemon or a teaspoon of honey if preferred.
• Pair with light snacks such as steamed dumplings, plain biscuits, or fresh fruit.
