HOT BREWING METHOD

1. Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
   
2. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot.
   
3. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Individual Serving)

1. Place 2 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for each serving required.
   
2. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herbal tea.
   
3. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags.
   
4. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Garnish and sweeten to taste.
   
5. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
