Add two tablespoons of dried green tea leaf to the infuser, and boil the kettle. After boiling, wait for 3-minutes before you add the hot water to the tea. Steeping tea leaves in boiling water, damages the catechins, removing the beneficial ingredients from the tea. Steep the tea for 5-minutes, and drink three to four cups a day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n<\/div>
