Mount Taygetos Greek Mountain Tea Bunch

To brew true Greek Mountain Tea from the vine: 

1. Get ready. Bring about 3 cups of water to a boil in a kettle or small pot. Place 9 grams tea–flowers, sprigs and all–in your pot or mug, discarding just the bottom stems where they’re very thick. (This is about 6 large sprigs. I typically break the branches in half or quarters to fit.) 
2. Brew. Pour the boiling water over the tea. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes (or to taste), then strain or simply use a spoon to scoop out the sprigs. 
3. Serve. Finish with a small spoonful of honey, if you’d like. 

To make iced Greek Mountain Tea:

1. Get ready. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a kettle or small pot. Place 15 grams of tea–flowers, sprigs and all–in a pot or mug, discarding just the bottom stems where they’re very thick. (This is about 12 large sprigs, or use 2 tea bags.) 
2. Brew. Pour the boiling water over the tea. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes (or to taste), then strain or simply use a spoon to scoop out the sprigs. 
3. Cool. Let cool before adding ice. You can add an ice cube in there to speed this along, or stick it in your fridge or freezer (don’t forget about it, or you’ll have sideritis ice!). 
4. Serve. Stir in a small spoonful of honey, if you’d like, and enjoy. 

Keep in a cool, dry place.

The trick with iced tea is to brew it a bit stronger so it can hold its own against the ice without going overboard and making it bitter.
