Ultimate Essiac Brewing Instructions
The Ultimate Essiac brewing instructions are very easy to follow. It takes just 10 minutes to brew essiac tea - it's as easy as making a pot of pasta! You'll make 2 quarts at a time and store them in a container of your choosing in the refrigerator.
Step 1. Boil the
necessary amount of spring water in a large pot.
The amounts for each
size brew are:
To Make
Use Best for
One gallon 136
oz. water Aggressive or Aggressive PLUS
Two quarts 68 oz. water Maintenance or children and animals over 55 lb.
One quart 36 oz. water Children and animals 33-55 lb.
One pint 20 oz. water
Children and animals 32 lb. and under
(Note: There is
additional water used is to account for evaporation).
Step 2. Add the
correct amount of essiac herbs.
The amounts for each
size brew are:
To Make Use
One gallon tea 4 oz. herbs (2 packets)
Two quarts 2 oz. herbs (1 packet)
One
quart 1 oz. herbs
(1/2 packet)
One pint ½ oz. herbs (1/4
packet)
- Boil for 10 minutes on a medium boil, stirring occasionally.
- Leave
the essiac in the pot covered. Turn the heat off, and let the essiac
sit at room temperature for at least twelve hours, but less than 24 hours.
You do not have to boil the tea twice.
- Pour
the essiac into a container or containers and refrigerate. Do not strain the herbs out. They are meant to be consumed. Stir your container with a large spoon and pour each serving immediately. It's OK to leave the essiac in an open topped pitcher. Always take essiac cold. Reheating risks overprocessing by "cooking" it twice.
