3. How do I prepare yaupon tea?
To prepare a cup of yaupon tea, simply steep 1 sachet in 8 oz of near boiling water (190F degrees) for 7 minutes. You can adjust the steeping time based on your personal preference for strength. Remove the tea bag and reserve for a second steep.
Enjoy it hot, with or without the addition of lemon, mint, or sweeteners. Or pour it over ice and drink it cold. Whether you brew iced green tea or dark roast, both yaupon varieties make iced tea that's especially refreshing with lemon and honey in the summer.
