+++Hi Marisa. Preparation of pau d'arco tea depends upon the form you

purchased. If it is tea bags you prepare it as instructed on the

package. If you bought whole bark, you prepare it according to this

recipe: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php#s33

Thank you Bee. It is not tea bags, so I will follow the instructions

of the link you posted.

Hi Marisa:

Just want to make sure you are aware that the best place to search for answers

to

questions is on Bee's website. She has a wealth of info there and you will find

articles

about all aspects of the diet.

As for the Pau d " arco: if you are making it as a tea to drink, just follow the

instructions on

the box. Brew it like any tea. You can use bags, you can use loose Pau d'arco.

You can

drink it hot or cold. 4 cups a day is the recommended amount.

Hello!!

I have read most of the articles but I just couldn't find the info

about the preparation of that tea. I used the search engine of Bee's

site and the results were some posts about pau d'arco but not about

how I can prepare it. I am sorry that you had to do double work for

me. I will search more before I post!!!!!

Thank you all for all the help.

Hi Marissa,

How to brew Pau d'Arco tea has been discussed on the group many times.

Besides searching Bee's website you can also search archived messages

at our group website. With a quick search using the terms " brew

Pau d'arco " I easily found these two for you:

first, from Debra NW in message #36867:

" In making Pau D'Arco tea you use 1 teaspoon loose dried bark per 1

cup water, boil for 5 to 15 minutes.

I usually make up a quart or two at at time using about 1 1/2 to 2

tablespoons ( I like it stronger) of the bark per quart. I bring it to

a boil, then lower to about medium heat so it will continue to boil. I

put a lid on it, set the timer for 15 minutes and make Bee's Raw Egg

Drink while I am waiting for it to be ready.

One thing you want to keep in mind is not to boil it for too long as

it will develop a bitter taste. "

And, from Bee in message #36877:

" The best quality Pau D'Arco is the pure loose bark, but it is very

difficult to find. When using loose bark follow this recipe:

How to make Pau D'Arco Tea using loose bark:

-Put 1 heaping tablespoon of tea in a sauce pan and add 1 quart of

water.

-Simmer on the lowest heat possible for at least half an hour.

-Allow the liquid to cool. Strain and pour into a glass jar with a

tight sealing lid.

-Keep it in the fridge and sip the cooled tea.

-It may be reheated if you prefer to drink it warm but do not boil it.

-It keeps for two days. Drink 4 cups or more per day. "

I hope this helps,

jackie

Now what do I do with the powder? It is not a tea bag and it didn't come with

any

instructions.

actually I din't know the word brew. English is not my native

language, I am from Greece.....I just used the words " Pau d'arco " and

the results didn't seem to answer my question. I guess I should be

more patient and read them all carefully.

I feel really bad that I made you answer something that has already

been discussed a lot. I promise I 'll do my best not to do that again.

don't concern yourself, Marisa. Someone else is now asking how to brew

it as well...so the information will be helpful.

Plus, you learned a new english word today!

+++No worries Marisa. It helps me too when people cannot find

information. I will definitely be adding Pau D'Arco tea in the recipes

under teas.

Thanks to you!

++Hi Doris. I didn't know you can buy powdered Pau D'Arco. Usually

when it is powdered it is in capsules, which I do not recommend

taking. Maybe you can call Mountain Rose Herbs to see what they

recommend for making tea from the powder, and how much to use per cup.

The only thing I can think of is to put the powder in a tea bell, but

if the powder is too fine it will fall through the holes in the bell.

You could tie the powder in cheesecloth tightly, but I don't know how

much you should use per cup. Then you can boil it in water for 3

minutes, like the tea bag instructions, and simmer it another 15

minutes.

+++Marisa, my dear. Do not become overly concerned about making us

do more work. That's why we are here.

It's just that some people ask before they try to find information

first. I can see you are trying hard to find information first, so

don't worry.

All of your questions are very important to us. So keep on asking.

That's the only way you'll learn so you can be in control of your own

health.

Luv & Hugs, Bee

Hi - just a comment on this.

I use Pau d'Arco Tea - and I get it frome Prince Imports, Inc. They

have an excellent product and has free shipping within the USA. They

also have a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with

the tea. Their website is: www.princetea.com.

Their tea which uses the inner bark is finely ground. The

instructions are included with the order. After boiling you can put

it through a coffee-press (like you would with ground coffee) - works

great.
