*Shake the can or stir coconut milk well before you add it to the tea since cream and liquid tend to separate in the can.
Crisp Iced Green Tea
- 1 tsp Gyokuro or Fukamushi Sencha tea leaves
- Water
- Ice
- Slice of Fruit, such as lemon, pear, white grapes
- Put 1 tsp. Gyokuro or Fukamushi Sencha tea leaves per 8 oz water in infuser basket.
- Add pure water (room temperature is fine) over the infuser basket. Shake the basket a bit so tea leaves get ‘coated’ with water.
- Let it steep for a few hours in fridge.
- Check the strength of the tea–if it’s steeped strong enough, take the infuser basket out to avoid bitterness.
- Pour over ice, and enjoy! Add a slice of lemon, pear, white grapes, etc. if you wish!
