Directions for Preparation and Use of Holy Tea
You may adjust the amount of Holy Tea you consume daily to suit your body’s needs. Don't worry, it tastes good! It tastes like a regular tea or herbal tea - not like "medicine" - and you can even mix it with your favorite teas. You may not even want to add any sugar or honey.
Two bags of Holy Tea will produce one gallon. If you drink one 8-ounce glass or mug of Holy Tea twice per day (with 2 meals) this will last for 8 days. Thus a pack of 8 bags of Holy Tea will last for one month (32 days). If you drink an extra 4-ounce glass of Holy Tea with a snack then 2 bags of Holy Tea will last about 6 days, and 8 bags (4 gallons) will last for about 24 days.
IMPORTANT:
The Holy Tea must be steeped in water which is HOT - close to the boiling point, but NOT BOILING.
And DO NOT MICROWAVE the tea mixture. Excessive heat will destroy the important enzymes in the tea. The preferred water to use for the tea is distilled water or bottled spring water. Although tap water is fine, it has many minerals which may prevent it from absorbing the full potential potency of the herbs.
If using a kettle to heat the water, remove it after you first hear the bubbling noises or see steam. If the water has already come to a rapid boil, let it set for a few minutes to cool and stop the boiling.
Preparing Your Holy Tea Beverage To Taste
- To make the regular strength Holy Tea, start by making one OR one-half gallon (that's 4 quarts OR 2 quarts) at a time. You can start with plain drinking water heated to a slow boil in a saucepan, or start by making 2 or 4 quarts of your favorite brand of decaffeinated or herbal tea, to which you will later add TWO bags of Holy Tea. Starting with just a half-gallon (2 quarts) of water or the regular tea will produce a stronger-tasting and more potent Holy Tea. At first, you may wish to start with a weaker mixture (use one gallon or 4 quarts of water) to get used to the Holy Tea. Later, increase the strength (use less than 4 quarts per 2 bags of Holy Tea) to your personal taste and desired potency.
- Heat pure water in a large saucepan or pot, and as soon as the plain water has stopped boiling rapidly, or the regular tea has finished steeping and you have removed the regular tea bags (and have sweetened the tea and/or added lemon, if desired) drop TWO of the Holy Tea bags into the liquid while it is still very hot. Always use TWO bags to make a half-gallon or full gallon of Holy Tea at a time. Adjust the amount regular tea in the mixture if desired, but do not use less than TWO Holy Tea bags.
- Cover the new Holy Tea mixture and let it sit overnight - or let it steep for AT LEAST 4 to 6 hours - to allow the herbs to infuse the mixture. Then, without removing the Holy Tea bags, pour the entire mixture into a container with an airtight lid (such as a Tupperware jug) and refrigerate your new batch of Holy Tea. Leave the Holy Tea bags in until you have consumed all of the liquid Holy Tea mixture. Then you can let them dry out, remove the edible dried herbs, and sprinkle them into various foods such as spaghetti sauce or salads.
- You can drink your Holy Tea cold or as an iced tea, or even add it to a favorite juice if desired. Drinking your Tea at body temperature is actually the most beneficial.
- Remember, DO NOT MICROWAVE the Holy Tea! Microwaves can destroy the natural enzymes and render some important ingredients ineffective. If you wish to drink your Holy Tea warm or hot, you can heat it in a saucepan or tea kettle - but do NOT heat the mixture to the boiling point, for boiling can also destroy enzymes. (You can use a refrigerated concentrate, and add it to hot water or hot tea. Make 1 quart instead of 4 quarts of Holy Tea using 2 bags, refrigerate, then add 2 ounces of the cold concentrate to 6 ounces of hot water or hot tea.)
Holy Tea contains some natural herbs which act as a cathartic. Women who are pregnant or nursing, persons who are elderly or very young, and persons with an existing medical condition or undergoing treatment with drugs should consult their personal physician before using Holy Tea or any herbal product.
