Green tea with jasmine
Description
The drink is prepared quickly and easily. Unlike black tea, green tea can be brewed several times, depending on the variety. Green tea should not be steeped for too long. If you leave it in the teapot too long, it will become bitter, as too many tannins will be extracted from the leaves. The drink is ready to serve.
