Slow saffron-spice green tea
6 minutes · 1 cup
Green tea burns if the water is too hot. This recipe treats Heaven's Velvet like a ceremonial kahwa-inspired cup: cooler water, shorter steep, optional warm milk splash.
Ingredients
- •1 Heaven's Velvet tea bag
- •200 ml water ~80°C
- •Optional: splash of warm milk
- •Optional: orange zest
Method
- Let boiled water sit until ~80°C.
- Steep 3–4 minutes only.
- Taste before adding milk; the blend is already nutty-floral.
- Sit down for this one—it is a slow cup, not a gulp.
