Green tea should never be brewed with boiling water (it should be around 175F, i believe) so what I would do is boil the water on the stove, wait 5 minutes (or just take it off the stove before it starts boiling), then pour it over your tea and let it steep for a couple of minutes. Also, never ever use a tea ball type thing with green tea - it compacts the leaves too much. If having leaves floating around bothers you (I just make my tea directly in the mug with leaves floating around.. but I am Chinese and used to it, having drunk it that way all my life...) you can pour it through a strainer after it's done. </p> <p>The Zojirushi water heater that Janet posted is excellent - I do not have it, but my parents and other relatives do - in my family, what we do is everyone has their mug with green tea leaves, and it gets constantly refilled throughout the day from the water heater. A good thermos (like the camping kind that keeps drinks hot for hours) works too. You can resteep the leaves several times if it's good tea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-green-tea-drinkers#post-288187 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 21:31:08 +0000 Janet 288187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not really an answer to your question, but for all the tea drinkers out there, I received this water heater/dispenser as a gift and absolutely LOVE it! Perfect cup of tea every time. </p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/hxx13r" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/hxx13r</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-green-tea-drinkers#post-288173 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 21:22:19 +0000 Aida 288173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can definitely brew it in a pan. Since it's green tea just be sure not to let the water get to an actual boil; if your stove is electric I'd say let it heat up to just before boiling then reduce to a simmer (or remove from heat) and brew the tea for 2-3 minutes. Should work just fine! I think a pan/pot will be your best bet for a big batch over a teapot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-green-tea-drinkers#post-287748 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:49:24 +0000 Dusty 287748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can totally do it in a pan! My parents did it that way for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-green-tea-drinkers#post-287747 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:47:42 +0000 JewelryGirl 287747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this on I think the Healthy Habit thread ---</p> <p>I brew a large concentrate of green tea, which I keep handy in the fridge. I'll then pour out a portion and add cold water to the right strength, and drink over ice. It's a great anti-oxidant.</p> <p>My question is what's the best way to make up a big batch? Can I just do it in a pan before I invest in a tea pot or Mr.Tea? And, if I can get myself to replace my coffee vice with it, what is my best upgrade (tea pot, Mr.Tea, something else)?</p> <p>Thanks a bunch!!! </p>
