You will need
- 1 tablespoon Chinese gunpowder green tea
- A large handful of fresh mint
- Sugar to taste (traditionally generous — use less if you prefer)
- About 750 ml boiling water
Method
- Rinse the tea with a little boiling water and pour it away.
- Add the mint and sugar, fill the pot and steep for a few minutes.
- Pour a glass and return it to the pot two or three times to mix.
- Serve from a height to make a light foam.
Drink it sitting down — alone, or better, with someone.
