But if you're not familiar with a few basic techniques, you can wind up with a tea that's grassy, bitter, or just too strong. Here's how to get a perfect cup of green tea:2Measure out the desired amount of green tea leaves (or pearls) and place them in your tea strainer or sieve.
3Fill a non-reactive pot or pan (glass or stainless steel) with water and heat it to about 180 °F (80 °C). You can use a candy thermometer to watch the temperature, but if you don't have one, then keep an eye on the water so that it doesn't boil.
4Place the filled tea strainer or sieve into an empty mug or cup.
5Pour the heated water into the mug, over the tea leaves.
6Steep the tea leaves for 2 - 3 minutes but not any longer, or else your tea will become slightly bitter.
7Remove the tea strainer from the mug.
8Let your tea cool down for a few moments and enjoy your perfect cup of green tea.

Edit TipsYou can add lemon juice for better taste.To re-use your tea leaves (or pearls) just plunge the tea strainer into a cup of ice water immediately after the steeping process. Depending on the type of tea you're using, you should be able to get at least one additional use of your leaves or pearls.If you drink a lot of green tea, consider installing a hot-water dispenser on your kitchen sink. The temperature is perfect for green tea.Some people shorten their preparation time by heating water in a microwave, however tea connoisseurs do not recommend this.Filtered water is especially recommended, especially if your tap water has a distinct taste or smell.If too weak, steep tea leaves until perfect.A glass coffee press (if you're making more than one cup) or a glass mug (if you're making one cup at a time) will allow the tea to cool quickly, minimizing bitterness.Add half a teaspoon of sugar if too bitter.Edit WarningsThe biggest mistake you can make with green tea is to steep it in water that's too hot. Green, white or silver teas are different from black teas in that they need water that's only about 180° to 185° (80 °C to 85 °C).The second biggest mistake is to steep for too long. Green tea shouldn't be steeped for more than 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. White or silver teas should be steeped for even shorter periods--a minute and a half is usually perfect.Edit Related wikiHowsHow to Prepare Oolong TeaHow to Make Genmaicha or Brown Rice TeaHow to Brew Kung Fu TeaHow to Make a Good Cup of TeaHow to Brew Spiced Tea WineHow to Make Green PepsiHow to Carve a Watermelon Tea PotHow to Make Iced Green TeaHow to Make the Perfect Cup of British TeaHow to Make a Traditional Bengali Sweet (Sandesh)How to Make a Perfect Cup of Pakistani Mix TeaHow to Enjoy a Cup of TeaHow to Reuse Tea BagsArticle Info Featured Article
