Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cup hot water
  • 1 tea bag green tea
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Equipment

  • Kettle or small pot
  • Tea infuser or tea bag
  • Mug or tea cup
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Bring water in a kettle or pot to a boil, observing the bubbles and steam release with a gentle whistle or simmering sound.
  2. Pour the hot water over the green tea bag placed in a teapot or cup, and steep for 2-3 minutes until the water turns a vibrant greenish-golden hue and the aroma begins to develop.
  3. Remove the tea bag using tongs or a spoon once the desired strength is achieved, watching the bag lift out showing a damp, darkened exterior.
  4. Add the cinnamon stick to the hot tea and let it steep for 3–5 minutes, allowing the warm, aromatic flavor to infuse gently.
  5. Observe the final appearance: the tea is clear with a golden-green color and a fragrant aroma of spice and tea, ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

For stronger tea, steep green tea for 3–4 minutes before adding cinnamon.” This does not contradict anything but helps clarify technique for varied strength preferences.
