How should I brew Ivan Chai Põdrakanepi tee "Jõulu" to enjoy its full flavor?

Ivan Chai is made from fermented fireweed leaves, which gives it a smoother, deeper flavour than raw herb tea. To brew it properly, heat fresh water to about 80–85°C (not boiling). Pour 250 ml of water over one teaspoon of the dried leaves in a cup or teapot. Allow the infusion to steep for 5–7 minutes; longer steeping can increase bitterness, while shorter times may leave the cup under‑flavoured. After steeping, strain the leaves and enjoy the tea warm. If you prefer a lighter cup, reduce the steep time to 4 minutes. The tea can be served plain or with a touch of honey or lemon, but avoid adding milk, as it can mask the herbal notes. For a festive touch, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg before steeping. Remember to let the tea cool slightly before drinking to preserve its delicate aroma. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition, consult a specialist before regular consumption.
