## Instructions

1. Start by heating up some water to 185F (no hotter). We love the [Stagg Kettle](https://breakawaymatcha.com/collections/teaware/products/stagg-ekg-kettle?ref=explore.breakawaymatcha.com) for precise temperature adjustment.

We like making single cups of genmaicha. [*Making a pot? See instructions below.*](#making-a-pot)

1. Place a [strainer](https://breakawaymatcha.com/products/zushi-tea-strainer?variant=46290620776673&ref=explore.breakawaymatcha.com) on top of any cup/tumbler/mug.

1. Scoop a heaping tablespoon (5-6g) of genmaicha into the strainer.

1. Gently pour about 6 ounces (180ml) water over the leaves. Don’t agitate the leaves, just pour.

1. Pour the tea into your cup (or cups, if you’re sharing).

Pause your life for a few minutes and really taste it. Relax and do nothing else.

Try to evaluate the experience. Too strong? Back off a little on the tea quantity, steep time, or both. Too weak? Add a little more tea next time or steep for longer.
