- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Step 2
Add 2 teaspoons of gunpowder green tea to the boiling water and let it steep for 1 minute. This helps to open up the tea leaves.

Carefully pour the tea through a strainer into a clean glass or heatproof container. Discard the water used to rinse the tea leaves.
Step 4
Place the strained tea back into the pot and return it to low heat.
Step 5
Add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the pot. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
Step 6
Let the tea simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to infuse the flavors of the mint and tea.
Step 7
Pour the tea into a heatproof glass or teapot to serve. A common practice is to pour the tea from a height to create a slight froth on the surface.
Step 8
Serve hot in small glasses, garnished with additional fresh mint leaves if desired.
