It only takes 20 minutes. All you need is tea, a specially designed steeper and boiling distilled or reverse osmosis purified water. This is not complex, but the key is to make it the most health-beneficial. Common tea has limited value since it is compromised by air, and the tea has limited benefits.
Dr. Lee has developed a patented tea steeper that eliminates all free air from the container. The base of the steeper has a reservoir to protect against spills, and a convenient holder to rest the lid. The lid is beveled, so it gently rests inside and outside the cup. The oxygen exclusion tea steeper is available in several attractive Oriental designs.
Basic steps:Place 1.5 teaspoons of leaves in the steeper to brew for maximum preservation of antioxidants. Pour boiling water to the rim of the steeper. Cover the steeper with the lid and let the extra water run down the steeper’s base After 20 minutes the leaves will sink to the bottom. Drink the tea within an hour; or separate the tea from the leaves, cool the tea over ice, and store it in a refrigerator to be consumed within 24 hours.
710EGCG® green tea must be brewed in deionized water, such as distilled water or water purified by reverse osmosis. All recent science-based research works, which prove the health benefits of green tea in the laboratories, have been based on using green tea prepared in deionized water. Green tea brewed in tap water containing chlorine and iron tends to be bitter in taste, and less effective.
