Notes
- Use an electric kettle with a temperature setting to boil water for green tea. Steeping green tea in the correct water temperature will prevent your tea from tasting bitter.
- Don't steep the tea bags in hot water for too long since that can also make the green tea bitter.
- The more you shake the iced tea in the cocktail shaker, the more foam you’ll get. If you like a lot of foam, shaking 40 times instead of 10.
