Supplies Needed:

Stainless steel kettle with lid (No Aluminum!), Stainless steel sieve, Large stainless steel or wood stirring utensil, Stainless steel funnel or 2-cup glass measuring cup, Glass bottles. The water you use for making essiac tea should be as pure as possible. Don’t use tap water.

Preparation:

1/4 cup herb mix and 1/2 gallon of water will make about 56 liquid ounces of tea and fill three and a half 16-ounce bottles, or almost two 32-ounce quart bottles. Measure out desired amount of dry ingredients. Pour proportionate amount of water into pot. Bring water to a rolling boil with the lid on. Stir dry ingredients into boiling water. Replace lid and continue boiling at reduced heat for 10 minutes. Turn off stove. Scrape down sides of pot and stir mixture thoroughly. Replace lid, let pot sit and cool undisturbed for 10-12 hours (overnight). Reheat to steaming hot, but do not let it boil. Turn off heat and allow herbs to settle for a few minutes. Pour hot liquid through sieve to catch sediment. Use funnel to fill sterilized bottles, put lids on. Allow bottles to cool, then tighten lids.

Store in dark cool place, always refrigerate an opened bottle.

Essiac contains no preservatives, discard if mold develops. “When in doubt, throw it out”. Unopened bottles can be stored in a cool, dark place, or keep all the bottles in the refrigerator. Don’t freeze essiac or warm it up in a microwave (use hot water to dilute and warm it).
