Notes

Brewing and serving notes

You can re-steep 1-3 times based on your personal tastes.  I sometimes will add a little more tea to a 2nd and 3rd infusion for a bit more strength.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon, light sweetener or simply by itself (my favorite).

Variations

This brew blends very well with other green teas.
