- 1). Heat cold water in a pot but do not boil. Heat until bubbles form at the bottom of the top, as coca tea is similar to Asian green tea and warm water brings out flavors better.
- 2). Place a teaspoon of dried coca tea leaves in a tea infuser. Insert tea infuser in the pot with water.
- 3). Steep and allow coca tea leaves to infuse for 20 minutes for a darker brew and 10 minutes for a light amber brew. Use 10 minutes steep method for the first time, as the tea can be strong.
- 4). Pour the coca tea in a mug to the half fill line. Taste and dilute with warm water if it is too strong for you. Pour a full cup of coca tea if the taste is as desired.
- 5). Sweeten tea with a teaspoon of honey and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Stir and sip. Or you can drink it unsweetened if you prefer.
