Brewing Instructions:
Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz cup; heat fresh water until steam rises (180 F);let steep for 1 minute. Do NOT oversteep or tea may become bitter. You can infuse the tea leaves multiple times. Green tea has been found to be a powerful aid in weight release programs. Contains less caffeine than a cup of coffee. Sweeten with SBS Teas Vanilla Moon Powder or Sweet Purple Haze Sugar.

Iced Tea Instructions:
Put 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 10-15 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
