The trick is to cook the tea several times and pour the tea from way up high -about 2-3 feet. This creates a frothy top that looks, right after pouring, a lot like a tiny tumbler of beer.

Instructions
  1. First, gather a good quality loose leaf mint & green tea blend, or mix your own by combining green tea with a few fresh mint leaves.
  2. Boil the tea in water for about two minutes.
  3. Let the mixture rest until all the tea leaves settle on the bottom of the kettle.
  4. Then pour it out. From really high up.
  5. Now, empty the cups back into the tea kettle and boil a second time for a couple of minutes.
  6. Let rest again.
  7. Pour the tea out again. It will be somewhat foamy on top.
  8. Boil the tea a third time for about two minutes.
  9. Add sugar to kettle.
  10. Let the mixture settle, and pour the tea back out into the glasses.
  11. Pour the tea back into the tea kettle and boil a fourth and final time.
  12. Boil for two minutes and let rest again, for maybe ten minutes.
  13. Finally, pour into glasses from way up high. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes

This can take some practice. You might find it easier to start off low and raise the kettle as you pour.
