    I love this idea because I like green tea a lot, and I am excited for tea recipes on Drinks Tube, so yey, thank you for that. You have a wonderful positive energy - but isn't 5 minutes a bit much for green tea? I made the experience not to let it sit for more than two or three minutes or it will turn bitter. Also, no boiling water, you usually let it cool down to ~70°C so you don't 'burn' the leafes, which can make them bitter, too.

    • @ThisIsMyFullName
      @ThisIsMyFullName 9 років тому +1

      It depends very much on the tea. Most need to sit for 5-8 minutes, some need 3-4 minutes, a few you can just leave in, and the more expensive ones only need 30-60 seconds on the first brew. Some green teas taste more bitter then others, so it's worth trying another type, if you feel it gets too bitter after only sitting for two minutes.
      The most common degree for making green tea is 80°C, but less is fine as well. It usually ranges from 70°C to 85°C degrees, depending on the green tea.

    • @TalkBeckyTalk
      @TalkBeckyTalk 9 років тому +2

      yay thanks so much for watching! Most usually say on the packet so this one I left in for the time on the packet but yes it does vary you're very right! Some of my teas at home need only a few mins, others I leave in for 6 or 7 but the most important thing is to not forget about it and take it out! x

    why boiling water and not 80°C hot one?

    • @awesomeman
      @awesomeman 9 років тому +1

      this is probably easier

    • @Raelieous
      @Raelieous 9 років тому

      Simplicity, unfortunately. It makes it more bitter when it's over 80C. A lot of people don't have a thermometer. :(

    • @TalkBeckyTalk
      @TalkBeckyTalk 9 років тому +2

      Sometimes i'll leave the water for 30 seconds or a little longer if I can if I have the time! x

  • @xinjiemaomao
    @xinjiemaomao 9 років тому

    Shouldn't green tea be brewed and around 80degrees?? Boiling water destroys the leaves

    • @TalkBeckyTalk
      @TalkBeckyTalk 9 років тому

      It won't destroy the leaves but if you have the time to wait then leave the water a few minutes, I usually spend a minute getting it from the kettle to the pot to it's cooled a tiny bit! x

      Usually it says on the packet of the leaf how long you'll need, for this one 5 mins was ok but yes you're right, some of my teas I have at home only need 2 mins, other need about 7 so I make sure I read before! x
