How Do I Cook Chinese Herbal teas?
1. Each packet of raw herbs is equivalent
to one day's dosage.
2. Empty 1 packet of raw herbs into 6 cups of
boiling water.
3. Simmer with no lid for approximately 45 minutes
until only 3 cups of water
are left
in the pot.
4. Strain the 3 cups of tea from the herbs.
5. Discard the herbs.
6. Divide the 3 cups of tea into two 1.5 cup
doses.
7. Drink one dose in the morning and one dose
in the evening.
Refrigerate the evening
dose.
Notes:
• Before drinking, warm any tea that has been refrigerated.
Pouring
cold liquids into the
stomach makes the digestive system sluggish.
• It is better to drink Chinese herbal teas without food, but is
ok
if that is necessary for
convenience or for digestive comfort.
• Please inform your Chinese Medicine practitioner if you experience
any digestive discomfort
from drinking the tea.
