Home-Grown Fresh Green Tea: How to Process Freshly Picked Green Tea Leaves In a Microwave instructions
- Gather the new yellow-green leaves (3 leaf shoots)..
- I gathered up one big sieve worth. This amount of leaves is processed in 3 batches..
- Start processing the leaves as soon as they are picked. It's best not to wash them, but it bothers me not to so I rinse them quickly in water..
- Drain the water off well. Put the leaves on a heatproof dish and microwave for about 2 minutes. This steams the leaves..
- The steamed leaves are hot. Taking care not to burn yourself, rub the leaves vigorously. It may be best to rub them on a cutting board... Squeeze out the moisture in the leaves as you rub them for 2 to 3 minutes..
- Put the leaves back in the microwave, and microwave for 1 minute this time. From this point on we'll be drying the leaves..
- Repeat Steps 5 and size - rub the leave, then dry them out - 5 to 6 times. The fragrance of the new tea leaves will fill the room..
- The leaves will gradually lose moisture and become crispy. When there's no moisture left in the leaves they're done..
- These are the finished leaves! If some just won't dry out enough in the micorowave, dry them in a frying pan slowly over low heat..
- Let's try brewing some. The color was quite light this time, but the flavor was strong..
- Cold iced green tea is delicious too..
