cayenne

December 1, 2006

My perspective is different. If one puts cayenne into cool water,

any bacteria or yeast on the cayenne will begin to multiply and

proliferate. Most of the cayenne remains in the cayenne powder, so

when drinking the cayenne and water, the concentrated cayenne is still

in the cayenne sludge, which can coat the throat causing a burning

feeling. Drinking the potent cayenne granules casn also be rough on

the gut.

By boiling the tea, one gets rid of any organisms which migt be there.

Much of the cayenne is extracted into the water, so the sluge won't

burn one's throat, or one's stomach. Tea can be drunk after

refrigeration if cool tea is preferred.

Hi Zoe:

I did try it for about a month and every night I had to take something to sleep,

not good.

Re: Cayenne

Hon, Im thinking that is a temporary reaction. The cayenne is one of the most

important things you can do for your body, especially if you have heart disease

or even the symptoms. Strongly suggest you try it again, and give it a chance to

finish detoxing your body. Im sure the sleeplessness will go away in time. I use

it a lot and no longer find that it keeps me awake.

Alobar- I didn't realize you were actually boiling it. Sounds like a

good idea. I'll have to give that a try.

For years I was told to never boil tea. Then when I started learning

about making kombucha, I found out that one boiled the tea to get

more into solution. It just seemed natural to make cayenne tea this

way.

I have just been pouring boiling water onto the mug with the powdered cayenne

and when I get near the bottom just swish it around and down.

Cheers, Doug

Cayenne is a dried vegetable. If you cook any veg (esp for as long as 5-

10 mins)it kills a lot of the good stuff in it because heat does kill.

Thats why juicing works so much better,as the raw diet shows. And even

then you are better of using a twin gear or something like that as it

uses low speed to get a lot less heat...or even a hydraulic press as

that is super low heat.

As for making kombucha,the tea is made ...before... putting it in with

the 'mother',not after as this would kill a lot of what the fungas has

done. Its the same as coconut oil being made with or without heat,and

why the absolute no heat is so much better for you than one that has

been treated with heat.

Tea is a differant thing than a veg as its designed to be heated to

get the goodies out of it. But i wonder ,is this true ? Just because

this is the way its always been with tea,that doesnt mean that tea

leaves couldnt be juiced and that juice put into making kombucha and

maybe get better results than from boiled tea leaves. Tea was designed

this way so that it could be transported from a warm climate to a cold

one. Just because tea has always been like this doesnt mean if someone

tried,that you could get more out of tea leaves just by juicing and

putting that in with the kombucha. That might be a good thing to try !

I would rather not have to deal with the heat from cayenne when

swallowing,but if that is what has to be done then " gulp " ,thats how it

has to be. For the sake of 60 seconds discomfort,its worth it.

What I have found to be a unique way to minimize the burn-afterburn of cayenne

is to mix it with blended water and meat from a young coconut. First I blend

the total contents of a chilled young coconut,(no additional dilution). Pour

about i/3 to 1/2 of it into glass. To this I add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Mix thoroughly with spoon and sip while on the computer. In fact I am working on

one right now. After it is finished pour remainder from blender and rinse

blender with CS (10ppm), ad to glass and sip on it . Getting everything at once.
