How do I prepare the ESSIAC® tea?

Add one bottle of ESSIAC® to 88 fl oz (approx. 2.5 liters) of water in a covered vessel. Use filtered, distilled or spring water. Use stainless steel or glassware. Do not use an aluminum vessel.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep covered during this process.
Remove from heat, keep covered, and let stand for 4 hours to increase potency.
Bring to a boil again and then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep covered during this process.
Remove from heat. Scald, or dishwasher clean, a tall narrow container and pour in the ESSIAC®. Cover, refrigerate and let stand overnight to increase potency. A small amount of sediment may be present in the final ESSIAC® tea. Keep refrigerated. Do not freeze or microwave.
