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.
Start with mild tea, using 1 teaspoon of Lapacho bark per 2-3 cups of water to see if there are any side effects you may experience. If not, increase the strength of the tea gradually to 2 teaspoons of bark for 3 cups of water or 1 Tablespoon for 4 cups of water. You could possibly increase again to 2 Tablespoons for a quart of water. Stop at the strength that provides a tonic that makes you feel good, and not uncomfortable. Drink this tea for 4-5 weeks on, then take 3-4 weeks off before starting again.
