Heat water until it's just about to boil, typically around 200°F (93°C).

Avoid boiling the water as it can scorch delicate tea leaves.

Pour a small amount of hot water into your French press to pre-warm it.

Swirl it around and discard the water

Add 1-2 teaspoons (depending on how strong of a brew you like) of your chosen herbal loose leaf tea into the French press / Strainer

Carefully pour the hot water over the tea leaves, covering them completely.

*Pro Tip: Use about 8 ounces (240 ml) of water for each teaspoon of tea.

Put the lid on the French press / strainer

(If using a French Press do not press the plunger down just yet) 

Let the tea steep for 5 - 7 minutes

Gently press down the plunger on the French press to separate the tea leaves from the liquid.

Pour your freshly brewed tea into your favorite cup.

Now for the really fun part...

Take a moment to savor the aroma and taste of your perfectly brewed herbal loose leaf tea.
