4- Deglaze with white wine and add the water. Reduce by half over low heat and let fall to about 149°F

5- Low down the reduction to about 149°F and let infuse Miss Dammann green tea for 3 minutes. Filter and reduce again by half and keep warm. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, with salt and pepper.
