When brewing aynar you need to make it the same way you would any other loose tea. The only difference is you will let the tea steep longer.

Start by bringing 12oz of water to a boil and then take the pot off the flame. Add roughly 3 heaping teaspoons of aynar tea to the pot and return the pot back to the flame at a low setting. Let the tea steep for at least ten minutes for a light tea and up to an hour and a half if you want a really strong tea.
