1. Measure Your Tea

• Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz (about 240 ml) of water.
• For stronger tea, add a little more — but don’t overpack your infuser, as the leaves need space to expand.

2. Heat Your Water

If you don’t have a thermometer, let boiling water cool for a minute or two before pouring over.

3. Steep the Tea

• Place the tea in an infuser, teapot, or French press.
• Pour hot water over the leaves.
• Steep for the recommended time:

Avoid over-steeping — it can make the tea bitter. or if you do let it become a nourishing infusion.

4. Strain and Serve

• Remove the leaves or infuser once steeping is done.
• Pour into your cup and enjoy as is, or add honey, lemon, or milk depending on the tea type.

5. Optional: Second Steep

Many loose leaf teas can be steeped 2–3 times.

Just add 30 seconds to 1 minute for each additional steep — the flavor often becomes smoother and more nuanced.
