Heat The Water: Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, let it cool for a minute to reach about 175°F (80°C). This temperature is ideal as water that is too hot can make the tea bitter.

Measure The Tea: Place the jasmine tea leaves or pearls in a tea infuser or directly into a teapot.

Steep The Tea: Pour the hot water over the tea leaves. Give the tea three to five minutes to steep. If you’re using pearls, you’ll see them slowly unfurl in the water. For a stronger tea, steep longer, but be cautious as over-steeping can result in bitterness.

Strain And Serve: If you use a tea infuser, remove it from the water. If the leaves were added directly to the pot, strain the tea as you pour it into cups.

Optional sweetening: If desired, add honey or sugar to taste.

Enjoy: Savor your cup of jasmine tea, appreciating its fragrant aroma and delicate flavor.
