Yellow tea

🔥 Prep

• Measure out 1 tsp of yellow tea leaves.
• Measure 200 ml of water.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Place the 200 ml of water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it reaches 80-85 °C (just below a rolling boil).
• 2. Once the water is at the correct temperature, remove the saucepan from heat.
• 3. Add the 1 tsp of yellow tea leaves to the hot water.
• 4. Cover the saucepan and let the tea steep for 2‑3 minutes.
• 5. After steeping, strain the tea into a cup using a fine‑mesh strainer.
• 6. (Optional) If desired, reheat the tea gently over low heat for 30 seconds to maintain warmth without over‑extracting.

🔥 Serve

• Pour the strained yellow tea into a pre‑warmed teacup.
• Enjoy plain, or optionally add a slice of lemon or a small drizzle of honey for subtle flavor.
• Serve alongside light Chinese snacks such as steamed dumplings or plain rice crackers.
