To make tea with a French Press, you'll need a French Press, tea of your choice (loose-leaf or bagged), a timer, and hot water.
Start by boiling the desired amount of water in an electric kettle or stovetop pot.
Once hot (ideally around 200°F), pour into the French Press.
Add two teaspoons of loose-leaf tea (or one teabag) for every 8 ounces of water.
Place the lid on the press with the plunger pulled up.
Let steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired strength, then slowly push down the plunger before pouring.
Your tea is now ready to enjoy!
