How To Cook
Your Herbs
IMPORTANT
NOTE: The cooking pot used to prepare
the herbs MUST be made of clay, glass, or stainless steel, with cover.
STEP
1: Soaking
your herbs. Soak 1 bag of your herbs in 2½ to 3 cups
of water for 30 minutes or more. Soaking
releases the essence of the medicine into the water. Two to three hours is not too long to soak
your herbs.
STEP
2: Boiling
your herbs for the first dosage.
- Cover the pot and bring your
herbs to a boil.
- When herbs are boiling, reduce
heat and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Pour tea into a cup through a
strainer, retaining the herbs for later use. The recipe should yield about 1 – 1 ½
cups of tea.
- Drink the tea. This
is your first dosage.
STEP
3: Boiling
the herbs for the second dosage
- Add/refill 1 to 1½ cups of
water to the herbs. Bring to a boil a second time.
- When herbs are boiling, reduce
heat and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Again, pour the tea into a cup
through a strainer. This time you
may discard the herbs.
- Drink the tea. This
is your second dosage.
