Preparing to make the Tea

Utensils
I enamel/glass/stainless steel cooking pan with a well-fitting lid.
1 heatproof glass measuring jug
1 stainless steel kitchen sieve
I stainless steel cooking spoon for stirring
x 3 500ml. brown glass bottles
or x 5 300ml bottles with lids (local pharmacy/drug store)
Sterilise all equipment used during preparation and for storage by:
· Heating the bottles and jug in the oven at 150°C/ 300°F/gas 2 for twenty minutes and boiling/steaming the tops, sieve and spoon.
· Sterilise the pan (only if you normally use it for cooking other things) by boiling water in it with the lid on for 10 minutes. Throw the water away
before starting to make the herbal decoction.
· Sterilise the bottles and tops, measuring jug, sieve and spoon either: I) in a steamer for 20 minutes 2) Using Milton or one of the baby
equipment sterilising solutions, always remembering to rinse away the residual chemical at least three times in cooled boiled water before use

Making the essiac Decoction

First Stage
1. Bring water to the boil, add powdered herb mix and cook at a rolling boil (just above simmering) with the lid on the pan for ten minutes only.
2. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir the mixture thoroughly with a clean spoon that has been well rinsed in boiling water scraping down any
herbs on the side of the pot into the tea.
3. Put the lid on the pan and allow the tea to cool down gradually. Let it to steep for ten to twelve hours leaving the lid undisturbed to avoid
unnecessary contamination from airborne bacteria. Overnight is fine.

Second Stage
1 Ensure that all the remaining utensils, including the lids and the seals for the bottles are clean and sterilised.
2 Reheat the tea to steaming hot to ensure that only hot liquid will be poured into the hot bottles.
DO NOT REBOIL THE TEA.
3 Allow the herbs to settle for a few minutes before straining through a fine, stainless steel strainer into the sterilised measuring jug. Pour into the
bottles.
4 Do not filter the tea before bottling. Some sediment at the bottom of the bottles is quite usual and acceptable.
5 Seal well immediately remembering that the decoction contains no preservatives. Use sterilised lids to produce an airtight seal and cool
quickly by standing the sealed bottles in bowls of tepid water.
6 Refrigerate as soon as the bottles have cooled.

Storage
The tea is best stored in the fridge. Only properly sealed preserving jars will keep the tea well in a cool, dark cupboard. All other bottles must be
kept in the fridge. All jars and bottles of the tea must be refrigerated immediately after opening.
The strained off herbs will keep well in a covered container in the fridge for several days. They can be warmed up and used for poulticing as
needed
Do not use wine-making sterilising fluid or bleach for sterilising utensils. If the tea develops mould in the bottle, discard immediately.

Points to note
· The body recognises the tea primarily as a food supplement.
· All the remedial value of the tea will be lost if it is frozen or microwaved.
· It is important that the herbs should be left to steep for the full ten to twelve hour period as the root and bark ingredients need time to fully
absorb the water in order to release their properties.
