Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 tea bag green tea
  • pinch ground cinnamon about 0.25 teaspoon

Equipment

  • Kettle or pot
  • Tea infuser or teapot
  • Tea cup
  • Measuring 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 a pinch of ground cinnamon directly into the hot tea. Stir gently with a spoon to distribute the spice evenly, noting the swirl of cinnamon creating a subtle spiral as it dissolves.
  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.
