Ginkgo is so valuable(increaseing circulation, memory..etc)Also a blood thinner, so it cannot be taken with other blood thinner meds, since it would increase thinning. I love it as tea. Bittersweat a little like Jiaogulan. Maybe someone has brewn with ? Luv Jahjet PS: Velma, I am thinking of you and hubby maybe?? _ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 how do you brew yr gingko tea ? (fresh leaves? how many per pot ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, ! like as extract myself.But i am compelled by its availability and ancient roots. The recomended tealeaves are 1 mg(1tsp) to a cup. I think that goes for dry or fresh.I was hoping someone may have already experimented.. One thing though there is male and femaletrees. i hope both leaves are the same. ALso must make sure tree has not been sprayed. I also hear persimmon tree leaves are beneficial too. I will try and see. Kindly, Jahjet > > how do you brew yr gingko tea ? > (fresh leaves? how many per pot ?) > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I went to the health food store today. Picked up some Nettle Tea. Saw they had Ginko leaves in their loose herbals area. Decided not to go for that one today. Did up a 1Gal jar of KT with 4 Green/White Fusion and 4 Nettle tea bags. Put in two scobies from my hotel and a generous cup of vinegary starter from the hotel. We'll see how he likes the flavour. I'll probably make this for myself anyway. Maybe turn my big spigot jar into this, and if he doesn't like it, get a 1Gal of regular KT going for him. Thanks for all of the insight. I truly appreciate it! Warmly, Velma kombucha tea From: jahjet@...

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 ....good decision, let me see how this ginkgo does,nettle is tried and true, not much flavor, spinach like, can flavor at second ferment with something he likes. PS: scalp massages with oils, can bring back circulation to skin, i know my hubby liked me to gently massage his scalp. Jahjet > > > > > > > > I went to the health food store today.
