Ingredients
4
cups
filtered water
4
teaspoons
Chinese gunpowder green tea leaves
4
Tablespoons
pure cane sugar
6
sprigs
mint leaves
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to 190° F (88°C). Set aside.
Place the tea leaves and the mint leaves in a pot. Add the hot water and steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the tea into a saucepan and add the sugar. Stir and bring to a simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. This caramelizes the sugar.
Remove from heat and pour the sweetened tea into a teapot for serving.
Pour into cups or decorative glasses.
To create a froth, pour from a height of 12 inches. Begin low and slowly raise the height of the teapot as you pour.
Garnish with mint and enjoy.
