1 tbsp mirin ( optional) or 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
1 cup finely chopped tomato , added to the broth as it simmers (optional)
1 -2 pinch cayenne (optional) or 1 -2 pinch other ground dried chile , added to the broth as it simmers (optional)
1/2 cup cubed tofu , added to the broth when the noodles are nearly finished cooking (optional)
1 cup precooked small bean, added to the broth when the noodles are nearly finished cooking (like soybeans, adzuki, edamame, or mung) (optional)
4 scrambled eggs , added to the broth when the noodles are nearly finished cooking (optional)
1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger , added to the broth as it simmers (optional)
2 sheets nori, lightly toasted and cut into 1-inch strips, for garnish (optional)
1 tbsp sesame seeds , used as a garnish (optional)
1 tsp black mustard seeds (to garnish ) (optional)
2 tbsp nuts , like pistachios , cashews
1 dab wasabi paste (to garnish) (optional)
1 thinly sliced onion , added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
1 handful of julienned cucumber, added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
1 -2 cup shredded lettuce (optional) or 1 -2 cup cabbage
1 cup mung bean sprouts , added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (optional)
2 tbsp candied ginger , added to the broth as it simmers or as a garnish (omit the mirin or sugar) (optional)

Directions:

Put 7 cups water in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple minutes. Stir in the tea leaves (or use a tea ball, cheesecloth, or some other mesh contraption), cover, and steep until fragrant and richly colored, 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the “tea broth through a strainer and put the tea in a large saucepan. Discard the tea leaves.
Bring the tea broth to a boil and sprinkle with salt. Stir in the udon. When the broth returns to a boil, add 2 cups of cold water. When the liquid returns to a boil, turn the heat down so that it bubbles gently without overflowing. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are just tender, usually 5 to 7 minutes, but it could be more depending upon the brand you use. Taste and add more salt, a few grinds of pepper, and the mirin or sugar, if you like, and serve.
