Steeping: For an authentic preparation we recommend using 2-3 teaspoons (~ 3g) of tea and a cup of water (8 oz), brought to a first boil and simmered for 3 minutes. Then add 4-6 oz milk to the saucepan and sugar to taste, bring it back to a boil and simmer for another 3 minutes. If using honey (in pace of sugar), add it at the end. **For lighter Steeping: Bring a cup of water (8 ounces / 240 ml) to a full, rolling boil and pour over 2 teaspoonful of tea mix. Brew for 4-5 minutes. Add milk and/or honey as per taste. *** If you don’t have a thermometer handy to measure your water temperature, don’t worry! Here is an eye guide– 180° F / 82° C = bubbles form on the bottom of the pot 195° F / 90° C = the first bubbles begin to rise 212° F / 100° C = full rolling boil Packing : We send our teas in a resealable kraft paper zip-lock stand-up pack with food-grade aluminum foil lining.
