How to prepare Genmaicha (green tea with grilled rice grains):

• Put the tea in a large enough teapot. For three people use three tablespoons tablespoons (around 15 g / ½ oz).
• Pour the boiling water all at once into the teapot and let it steep for thirty-seconds
• Pour the hot water at the right temperature (70 to 80° C / 158 to 176° F) into the teapot and wait for thirty to sixty-seconds for fukamushi sencha (deep-steamed), or two minutes for ordinary sencha.
• Pour the liquid into each cup over several pourings in such a way that the strength of the tea will be equal for each cup. Empty all the liquid from the teapot.
  For the second infusion, let it steep for ten-seconds.
