Ingredients
4 cups water
1 tbsp gunpowder green tea leaves
1 large handful fresh spearmint leaves
3-4 tbsp sugar
Directions
In a medium-size pot, bring the water to a full boil. Swirl a little of the boiling water, about ¼ cup, in your teapot to rinse it. Discard the water.
Add the gunpowder green tea to the teapot, then pour a few tablespoons of boiling water over the leaves. Allow the leaves to soak briefly, then swirl the pot to rinse the leaves and discard the water.
Add the mint leaves and sugar and fill the pot with about 2 cups boiling water. Leave the tea to steep for at least five minutes.
Gently stir the tea and serve.
