Ingredients
- Tea of choice
- Water, filtered
Instructions
- Give a quick rinse to loose tealeaves. (Pur-eh tea or fresh herbs should go through a quick hot brew since they can be dusty and to cut down on bacteria.).

- Starting at 2 hours, taste-test tea until it achieves desired flavor.
- Serve with a simple syrup, cream, coconut milk, or almond milk, muddled fresh herbs, or lemon slices or wedges.
