Today, I wanted to make a cup of green tea. I figured it would be a nice, relaxing activity. So, I went to the kitchen and started looking for my favorite green tea. I found it tucked away in the back of the cupboard. Nice, first step done.

Boiling Water

Next, I filled the kettle with some fresh water and put it on the stove. I turned the heat to high and waited for the water to boil. It took a little while, but I heard the familiar whistle when it was ready. Poured the hot water into my mug, being extra careful not to spill any.

Steeping Tea

I grabbed a tea bag from the box and dropped it into the mug. Watched as the water slowly changed color, turning a light shade of green. I knew it needed to steep for a few minutes, so I just stood there, taking in the aroma. It smelled so good, like a fresh spring day.

Adding Honey

• After about three minutes, I took out the tea bag and tossed it in the trash.
• Then I added a little bit of honey, just a spoonful, to sweeten it up a bit.
• Stirred it gently with a spoon until the honey dissolved completely.

Enjoying

Finally, I took a sip. It was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. The taste was just right, with a hint of sweetness from the honey. I sat down on the couch and enjoyed my cup of green tea while reading a book. It was a nice little break in my day.
