Green tea is brewed like any other tea, except that the water must be poured before it fully boils (or the tea will taste bitter).

I don't care what anyone else says, and I'll probably be flamed by tea connoisseurs, but I love adding milk to my green tea. It eliminates the bitterness, and you get a wonderful creamy taste that you can't get with white or black tea mixed with milk.

Green tea should be brewed shorter, about 3 minutes.
It tastes milder, & you should not have milk in it.

I brew it like regular tea, but I tend to like my tea strong. I don't usually put milk in it because it really doesn't go with the flavor of the tea. I did read that putting milk in black tea decreases its benefits but I'm not sure if it had the same effect on green tea. I like Tazo green tea, especially if I have a cold. It has a slightly minty flavor.

depends on what kind. If it's flavored you usually use boiling water. If it's pure green tea, then you need to use just very hot water, (not boiling). 2-3 minute steep time, you have to experiment though.

The traditional way is to put the tea leaves (not a teabag!) in a china pot, add water that has boiled and allowed to cool for a couple of minutes (boiling water burns the tea), and whisk the tea with a bamboo whisk. Pour and drink. Don't add milk as it reduces the benefits.

Use bottled or filtered water as tap water contains chlorine.

It has been reported that adding milk to black tea may reduce it's health benefits. I have seen no studies done on milk and green tea to date.

Green tea alone can have a grassy taste. Buying a blend of green tea and mint or other flavoring may be more palatable to some people.

same as normal tea ! sweetie

It is like regular tea but is suppose to be better for you.You can use milk if you like.And make a pot by using a coffe maker .Run your water through and put your tea bags in the carafe.Depending on how strong you make it is how you want it.For one cup nuke a cup a water in the microwave and dunk the teabag when you are done.No milk won't affect
it's health benefits.
