the stainless pot

Pouring the herbal tea
into smaller pot

1. Open the package and put the entire content into stainless pot.
   The Pot should be at least 7.5 inches high and 9 inches in diameter. Do not use the pot that is too wide in diameter (Water evaporate so quickly before the cooking is complete).
2. Pour enough water into the pot (Filtered water for the best result) to cover the herbs by about 1 1/2 to 2 inches. It takes about 3/4 gallons to one gallon of water, depending on the size of the package.
3. Bring it to a boil and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes with the lid on. Stir every 5 minutes or so during boiling. Then turn it down to medium to medium low heat. it down to medium to medium low heat.
4. With the lid on, cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours total until remaining liquid is down to 2 cups (16oz) It should be soft-boiling at medium or medium-low heat. Make sure to stir the herbs every 30 minutes or so to ensure even cooking. After 1 1/2 hours of cooking, it is very critical to check the amount of liquid as often as possible so as not to burn the herbs.
5. When ready, pour the liquid into a smaller pot. If it is more than 2 cups just by 3 or 4 oz, just cook a little longer in the small pot. However, if you get more than 3 or 4 cups, pour it back into the original pot and cook it down to 2 cups.
6. Strain the liquid into glass jar or bottle using a funnel and a fine mesh strainer.
7. You may cook the herbs second time the same way if instructed by the herbalist.
