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

  1. Let boiled water sit until ~80°C.
  2. Steep 3–4 minutes only.
  3. Taste before adding milk; the blend is already nutty-floral.
  4. Sit down for this one—it is a slow cup, not a gulp.
