Here's a basic guide on how to prepare green tea:

1. **Choose Your Tea**: Select high-quality loose leaf green tea or green tea bags. There are many varieties available, so choose one that suits your taste preferences.

2. **Boil Water**: Heat fresh, filtered water to around 175°F to 185°F (80°C to 85°C). Avoid boiling water as it can make the green tea taste bitter.

3. **Measure Tea**: If using loose leaf tea, measure approximately 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per 8 ounces (240 ml) of water. Adjust the amount according to your desired strength.

4. **Steeping Time**: Steep the tea for about 2 to 3 minutes. Steeping for too long can result in a bitter taste, so be mindful of the time.

5. **Infusion**: Place the tea leaves in a teapot or tea infuser if using loose leaf tea, or directly into a cup if using tea bags. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves, covering them completely.

6. **Cover and Steep**: Cover the teapot or cup to retain heat and allow the tea to steep. Let it steep for the recommended time.

7. **Strain or Remove Tea Bags**: If using loose leaf tea, strain the tea leaves from the liquid using a tea strainer or remove the infuser. If using tea bags, simply remove them from the cup.

8. **Serve**: Pour the freshly brewed green tea into cups and enjoy as is or with a slice of lemon, a sprig of mint, or a touch of honey if desired.

Remember, the exact brewing process may vary depending on the type of green tea and personal preferences. Experiment with different steeping times and temperatures to find the perfect balance of flavor for you. Enjoy your freshly brewed green tea!
