Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons of loose-leaf green tea
  • A handful of fresh jasmine flowers approximately 8-10 flowers
  • 2 cups of hot water about 180°F or 82°C
  • Optional: honey or sugar for sweetness

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Jasmine Flowers

  • Start by plucking fresh jasmine flowers from your garden or purchase them from a trusted source. Make sure they are pesticide-free and organic for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Rinse the jasmine flowers gently under cold, running water to remove any impurities.

Step 2: Selecting The Green Tea

  • Choose a high-quality loose-leaf green tea for this recipe. Sencha or Dragonwell green teas work exceptionally well with jasmine flowers due to their fresh and slightly grassy flavor profiles.

Step 3: Scenting The Tea

  • Place the green tea leaves in a clean, dry tea infuser or teapot.
  • Add the freshly rinsed jasmine flowers to the tea leaves.
  • Gently shake the infuser or teapot to mix the tea leaves and jasmine flowers.

Step 4: Brewing

  • Heat the water to approximately 180°F (82°C). Water at this temperature is perfect for green tea, as it prevents bitterness.
  • Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and jasmine flowers.
  • Cover the teapot or infuser and let the tea steep for about 3-4 minutes. Be mindful not to overstep, as it can result in bitterness.

Step 5: Serving

  • After the steeping time is up, carefully remove the infuser or strain the tea into your teacup.
  • If you prefer your tea sweet, you can add a teaspoon of honey or sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
