1) Using a powerful blender or coffee grinder grind up the amount of dried pods that suit you best. I usually go with about 20 or so depending on size. (keep in mind this is for a couple of people, you don't want to use too many at first) Grind to a coarse powder as you would for French press coffee

2) Place the grinds in the bottom of the Bodum

3) Boil a kettle of water

4) While waiting for the kettle, soak the powder with lemon or lime juice for about 10 minutes

5) Once the kettle has come to a boil, take it off of the element and wait for a minute

6) Then add the water to the Bodum

7) Press the plunger up and down repeatedly, not to hard or vigorously you don't want to make a mess or break anything

8) Next bring the plunger back up to the top and let stand for 10-30 minutes

9) Before you plunge it down for the last time stir the mixture and then plunge

10) Finally add the tea to your mug...sweeten with honey or brown sugar and viola!

Enjoy
