The number one drink by most long time macros is Kukicha or Bancha Twig Tea

The best way to make a low or non-bitter tasting Bancha Twig Tea is to use the larger twigs that come with bulk bancha twig tea, and to cook the twigs in purified, spring, or well water inside a enamel or glass lined pot

Because Simply Natural does not sell these products I will have to send you to macroCOOK where you can be introduced to various places to get Kukicha twigs and glass pots so that you can easily make this wonderful tea, each and every time you wish to drink a slightly more yin bancha twig tea.

Otherwise, you can buy the various bagged teas here and the various teapots that Simply Natural offers!

Here is a recipe for making the tea once you have the right ingredients and cooking implements:

The best tasting tea is made using spring, well, or filtered water in a glass tea or coffee pot.

To prepare: add 1 heaping teaspoon of kukicha to 1 quart of cold water.

Cover and bring to a rapid boil over medium-high heat.

Immediately remove from heat source and let steep (simmering twig tea makes it too strong and bitter to drink alone!) .

When the pot of tea has been consumed, a pinch of tea (prepared as above) can be added to freshen the pot.

Enjoy hot or cold.

Please enjoy!

Thank you, very much.

Be well, be your best, and be blessed!
