Ingredients

A large handful of fresh mint
3 teaspoons loose green tea (Gunpowder or Chun Mee)
3 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
Water

Steps

Bring the water to the boil.
Put the tea in a large teapot with a cup of boiling water. After a minute, pour this first brew into a cup and keep it. It holds the first, best flavour of the leaves.
Swirl another cup of boiling water through the leaves to rinse them, then throw that water away.
Pour the saved first brew back into the pot and top up with boiling water until it’s three-quarters full.
Bring the pot to the boil on the stove over low heat.
Take it off the heat and add the mint and sugar straight away.
Pour a glass of tea and tip it back into the pot 2–3 times to mix.
Serve right away, pouring from high above the glass to get the classic foam.
