To brew, place about one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup into a teapot or infuser. Heat fresh, cold water to just before boiling, around 200-212°F (93-100°C). Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Strain the tea leaves and serve immediately. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and pour over ice.
