I've been told I need to drink green tea. Since it is a powder, how do you make tea? do you just mix in water and drink it without straining it? Tks

I mix 1/3 teaspoon of the powder with 38 ounces of cold water to make iced green tea. It does not dissolve completely, but it does color the water green and tastes like brewed green tea only very strong. Some sediment will fall to the bottom, but if you swirl your cup before taking a drink, it mixes it up nicely and you won't be getting any tea leaf texture. I have found it unnecessary to use hot water or brew it. Your personal tastes will dictate whether this approach works for you.

My personal favorite is a large cup (I like to reuse my Venti size cup from Starbucks) fill it with ice, 1-2 Tbsp of powder (depending on your taste preference), fill with water, stir/shake. Simple and delicious! It's also great with warm milk!

Hubby and I just mix it with water and do not strain it. Neither one of us likes green tea so we add one of the water flavorings like Vitamin Zero concentrate. It obviously doesn't dissolve, similar to cinnamon in texture in the drink.

I included a brief summary of how to make the tea in my review. Click review and look for most review from Debbie. Hope it helps.

I am not sure but you could add a couple of Passion tea with the green tea I usually use organic but I have in a pinch use something even lipton.......as long as you use it in the steeping process I would also use gunpowder green or it the passion tea has tea leaves in the blend it should be fine......Enjoy

You can put loose tea in it and steep. It's a press so it will keep the tea leaves in when you press and pour your tea. Love mine!

I started by taking it as a tea like they suggested, but I can't drink hot, bland water (yuck). I just take 1/4 as a pill before bed. Just make sure you drink a lot of water.

I've never used fine tea powder, so I'm not sure. The strainer is finely woven & to test it for you I took the finest thing in my kitchen similar to powder a cake flour & it held it well in the strainer. I had to really force it through like a sifter to get the flour through. I hope that answers your question.

This works equally well as a tea pot, you just measure your fresh loose leaf tea and place it in the container, pour in the hot, not quite boiling water wait a minute or so and apply the press. Makes wonderful tea. Haven't used tea bags at this time but it would probably work well also.

Better to use warm water as suggested . I fill a Mason Quart jar about 1/2 full of water add the powder then use a hand held blender (one with small propeller type blade) to mix . Does great, then add the rest of the water for the Quart, that can then be cold water . I also drink Redmond clay and it is tough to get dissolved in water, but use the same method to mix it, too (except cold water) . Just though I'd share that second part . Haaaaa

To use in tea I think would it would be very hard to drink.For me it is best mixed in a cold shake of some sort.I use it in my Nutri Bullet with other superfoods and whatever you like .

Oh that is hard to say, it depends on how strong you want it. I just take a small pinch and put it in my small sauce pan, boil the water and then drop the pinch in I would say that is about a full TSP, let it steep for a few minutes I then strain it into a little tea pot but you can just let it flow into a cup.. I may use a touch of honey if it really does not need it. Of that is not strong enough add some more next time if it is too string just add more water. I hope that helps. Enjoy

That is precisely how you brew Tea. Heat water in a kettle then pour it into the Tea Pot with the Tea. Let it steep for around 5 minutes. Remove tea from pot. And enjoy.

I don't know very much about brewing tea. I usually heat just water in it, and then pour that over the tea in my cup to steep.

Yes, but it left me bewildered since I do not know how to convert cc or grams to ounces. I did a google and got an interesting lesson (Grams are a unit of mass or weight and a tablespoon is a unit of volume. Therefore it depends entirely on what you are measuring -- it depends on the density of the substance.) Anyway, here are the directons: "Infuse the tea powder 20g in 150cc warm water. For cold drinks ice cubes can be added." What I do is use 2 to 3 tbsps to some hot water (helps to break it down quickly) and then add cold water to make an 8 oz cup, I then add ice since I like it cold. I think it would depend on how strong you like it. Start with a tbsp and work up until you get it the way you like it.

Place loose tea in the strainer insert, add heated water, amount of time steeped is generally a few minutes but follow the directions on the tea package itself if you're not sure. Once the tea has finished steeping, remove the strainer. I have also used tea bags, once with the bags placed directly into the steamer (not an optimal use, but I didn't have any loose tea at the time) or by just filling the tea pot and then putting the tea bags directly into the pot.

For one cup of tea (8 oz), add one teaspoon powder to hot water and mix. You can adjust the amount of powder per cup according to taste.

Powder. Mixes fairly easy. I sometimes take it with just a gulp of water. I kinda line it. I'm weird like that.

I have added it in powder form to a chai tea recipe and then brewed the tea. It took a little extra stirring but gave the tea a good flavor.
