Additional Tips
- Green tea can be a bit bitter for some, but the addition of honey can mellow the flavor. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Experiment with the steeping time to find your perfect strength. Longer steeping makes the tea more robust, while shorter times offer a lighter flavor.
- For a refreshing twist, you can add a splash of lemon juice or a few fresh mint leaves to enhance the aroma.
