Steep the green tea. Bring water to a boil in a pot. In a French press, add the tea mix, pour 3 cups of water over the Number One Thai tea mix, and steep for 4-6 minutes or up to 10 minutes if you love a strong brew. Plunge the French press, and pour the green tea into a tea sock, cheesecloth, or muslin bag, into the sugar mixture bowl to filter out loose tea leaves.
