Suggested Use

This tea is not powdered, but contains whole or cut dried herbs, flowers, seeds, roots bark and/or berries which require soaking and simmering to extract their beneficial properties.

The chaparral in this tea is bitter-tasting. You can add a strong juice such as pomegranate juice to make it more palatable.

See our video on how to make loose tea.

Extender tips to make your bag of tea last longer:

~Soaked herbs and water can be ground in a blender before simmering to make a stronger dose of tea.

~ This tea is so potent, you can reuse it a second and third time. Put strained herbs in refrigerator until evening to soak again.

1. Add water and another 1 Tablespoon of dry tea to leftover strained herbs and soak again overnight.
2. Simmer the next morning and enjoy.
3. Discard leftover soaked herbs after 3 days.

NOTE: This formula is even more effective when used in conjunction with the Desert Detox Concentrate.
