Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Liver Detox Tea - FormulaAdapted from The Tao of Detox, by Reid (Inner Traditions, 2006).

Mix the dried herbs with 1 1/3 quarts of pure water and bring to a boil in a non-aluminum cooking pot. Simmer slowly for about 20 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. 2. Strain into a bottle and take 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of warm tea, 3 times per day. 3. Extra tea may be kept fresh in the refrigerator, but each dose should be warmed up before drinking.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I am supposing that the g in the measurements for the detox tea stands for grams. And when I tried to figure out how to convert 10 grams, I came up with this: 1 gram = .032 ounces This must mean that ten grams = .32 ounces. Short of using a scale, which I don't have, I have no idea how to measure this. Any suggestions? TerriLynne Quote
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 You don't have to go with grams, TerriLynne. I would just use the gram as a " part " and make sure the quantities of the parts correspond to the recipe. Maybe substitute 1/4 ounce for a gram, or some such thing.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I thought about doing that, but a specific amount of water is specified, so for me, that makes it more tricky. Also, I have no way of measuring 1/4 ounce. I would be more likely to use a teaspoon or two. Perhaps, this is just a recipe which I will be unable to adapt. TerriLynne Quote
