How to make a cup of green tea-
– Take 1 cup of water and put it on boil. Do not let the water come to a boil as that can cause harm. Put off the burner when the water is about to boil.
– Infuse the green tea sachet in hot water cup for 2-3 minutes. Do not dip it for a longer time as it will make the tea taste bitter.
– Do not infuse the tea bags in boiling water as that will generate chemical named tannin, which is harmful for the body.
– You can go for flavored green tea bags or you can have some add-ons such as honey, lemon juice or ginger juice.. and voila your green tea is ready :dancydancy:
