So, always let the boiled water cool down a bit before pouring it into the cup.
Do not Steep for a long time - It’s very important to steep the green tea for the right amount of time. Green Tea leaves are very delicate, if you brew it more than 2-3 minutes it’ll start tasting bitter and the colour of the tea will also get darker.

Use Lemon Juice - A few drops of lemon juice makes the flavour of green tea delicious. Studies also found that adding lemon juice or other citrus juice to green tea helps the body absorb 13 times more catechins.So, mixing lemon with green tea will improve its taste and also derive more health benefits.
Add Fresh Spices and Herbs - Other than lemon, ginger and honey you may also use some natural herbs and spices like, cinnamon, tulsi leaves, mint leaves etc. It’ll enhance the flavour of your tea.
