1. Bring your water to a boil.

2. Pour 220 mL or 7.5 ounces of boiling water into your kyusu.

3. Pour directly from your kyusu into your serving up. This brings the water to the ideal brewing temperature of 200 F or 94 C.

4. Weigh out 6 grams of Kettl Houjicha (or roughly 1 large tbsp) and add it to your kyusu.

5. Start a timer and immediately pour the water from your serving cup back into your kyusu.

6. When the timer reads 45 seconds, pour the brewed tea from your kyusu with a rocking motion through the strainer into your tea cup. Enjoy.
