Green Tea Sri Lanka

Brew time: Place a 1 teaspoon of green tea leaves in your preferred teapot or infuser and allow the tea to steep for no more than 2-3 minutes. The short steeping time also ensures that tea is smooth and refreshing without excessive bitterness that one might expect from tea.

Additions: Although there is no need to modify anything since Sri Lankan green tea is already quite satisfying but you may put a lemon slice or a spoon of honey atop the tea for a more sweeter taste. To create a bolder taste consider adding fresh mint leaves or ginger infused into tea.

Ice tea proposed: In order to be fully effective, tea is brewed, cooled, and poured over ice. Mint leaves or lemon slices can also be added to make the drink crisp and delicious.

What to do: Sri Lankan Green Tea can be drunk without any added sweetness as well, which makes it great for every mood and is always pleasant to come back to. Hot or refreshing cold.
