A Few Tips On Preparation:

Peak Potency of ESSIAC from Resperin is assured by the fact that it comes
in units of one-and-a-half ounces of the four herbs powdered and assembled and
ready for simple preparation into liquid form. The directions come in the package.
There are two boils with a four-hour standing period between them. Do not use a
vigorous boil or it may boil over thereby risking the loss of much of the batch. A
"smiling" simmer is best and stay with it, stirring from time to time. Following the
second boil, one should have two quarts of liquid. This must be stored in the fridge
in one or two glass containers --

I find one is best and I use a two quart pasta sauce jar. The important thing is to
make sure the jar is sterile. There are no preservatives in ESSIAC and just like
any other food, there's a risk of mould developing. What I do is heat the jar
under the hot water tap, place it in a pot (in case the jar cracks, I won't lose the
batch -- it has never happened) and pour the liquid directly from the stove into
the jar. In this way I know the jar is sterile.

After the tea has stood in the fridge for a few days, the spent herbs will coagulate
at the bottom of the jar mainly because of the slippery elm bark which is
gelatinous. I have never bothered to pour the liquid off the dregs and into another
container, so this is a users' option. Just be sure the second container is sterile.
