The recipe
①Put the picked leaves into a big strainer.
②If you picked a big strainer full of tea leaves, divide up into 3 times for tea making.
If you make a lot of tea at once, it will take longer to dry.
④Drain the leaves properly and put them on a heat-resistant dish,
and then microwave them for 2 minutes.
By doing so, the leaves become steamed.
Please be careful with burns and rub the leaves strongly.
Rubbing the leaves on a chopping board might be an easier way.
Rub and squeeze the leaves for 2-3 minutes to get rid of any excess water.
⑥Put the leaves in a microwave again and warm them for 1 minute.
From now, let them dry.
The smell of the first picked tea of the year breathes.
⑧The leaves are getting less watery and becoming crispy.
When the water is gone completely, they are complete.
in case, the leaves are not dry completely after attempts through a microwave,
put a pan on low heat and then fry the leaves to dry gently.
⑩Once the leaves are complete, let’s make tea to drink.
