Coffee/Tea To Make Green Tea

to make green tea
(from The Great Western Cook Book, Or Table Receipts: Adapted to Western Housewifery, by Anna Maria Collins, 1857)

Ingredients:

2 tsp. tea - to -1 quart water​

or​

tea steeped in 1 tea-cup of boiling water​

Instructions:

Scald your tea-pot, put in two tea-spoonsful of tea to a quart of water, let it stand a few minutes in the hot tea-pot before you fill up. This is considered a good way; or, you can pour on a tea-cup of boiling water, and let it steep; this an old fashion, and the one I have always followed in making tea. Tea is never better for standing over fifteen minutes.​

Another wonderful tea recipe. So good for this cold winter day. We had some more snow too.
