Re: [SPAM] Re: Pau d'arco tea Advice--Powder?

[Guest guest]

Just wondering (since I have the powder) do you simmer this or put it in

capsules?

Thanks

Last week recommended the powder and it makes sense because, I think,

extracting what is needed out of the bark has to be a bit harder.

Pacific Botanicals provides both the Powdered and Shredded forms and at no

different cost. I bought the shredded the previous time but am now using my

coffee grinder to break it down into powder.

The 'usual instructions are to place it in a stainless-steel pot and slow-boil

it for 25-30 minutes and then strain it. Some instructions say to " use 3/4

tablespoon to one quart of distilled or filtered water (3/4 cup per gallon) and

use a glass or stainless pot of cold water. Low boil for at least 20 minutes

and you may add water to bring it up to the starting amount. You can make it

stronger if you have a health problem. " Is this the 'expert' advice? I

have no idea but it is one that came with the Pau d' Arco one time that I got

it.

This time I decided to make it stronger and went 2 cups of Pau d' Arco to the

gallon of water. Oh yes, it says to use a piece of linen, tea strainer or

coffee press device to get the grinds out. I use a fine tea-strainer and if

necessary, decanter it if grinds find their way into the final batch.
