Prepare a clean heatproof teapot and fine strainer or filter. Weigh 8 g green tea and put in filter or pot.

Heat 1 litre drinking water to about 80 °C or follow the tea label. Do not automatically pour boiling water on tea that needs a lower temperature.

Pour over leaves and steep 3 minutes, or follow the manufacturer if different. Do not boil leaves for this formula.

Remove leaves fully or strain into another clean teapot. Dissolve 20 g sugar in hot infusion, stirring gently.

Divide into 4 heatproof glasses or cups and cool to a comfortable drinking temperature. Reference 13 minutes: 5 preparation, 5 estimated heating, 3 infusion; no other compulsory rest.
