I love jasmine tea. I had it once cold, and I thought I would try to make it at home. I loved it!!!!
When I was a tea shop in Portland, I learned that you should soak your jasmine pearls for 30-50 seconds before you make your first pot of tea. I found that interesting, but now I do it every time. The lady said you get a better first cup of tea.
Steeping- BUT NOT in boiling water, it will burn the leaves!!!
I let it chill in the frig. Or if I wanted it right away, I would pour in a cup with ice.
Look how they opened by the time I am done making tea. I find that you can make a second cup of iced-tea with the jasmine, since it only steeps 2-3 minutes. Again, do not over steep, it will get bitter.
