To Prepare: (In the Evening) Place a half an inch of herb in the bottom of a quart size canning jar (a handful or two). Experiment with the amount of herb and strength of the taste to find what works for you. But please make sure there is at least approximately 1⁄2 an inch in the jar. Fill the jar to 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 of an inch from the top with boiling water. Stir the herbs down into the water so that they are all wet and mixed in and not floating. Cover the jar with a lid or small plate to retain the essential oils and let sit overnight. In the morning, strain using a small mesh strainer into another canning jar and your “tea” (technically an infusion, a concentrated tea) is now ready. Since this is a highly nutritious drink it is also strongly flavored. Some men love it and cannot get enough of it!! Some tolerate it and others have a difficult time. These suggestions are offered to help you maximize the amount you do drink. Feel free to experiment, so that you are sure to drink it frequently. Some men like to make a gallon or more at a time and store it in the fridge. This way they can make it 1-2 times in a week. Steep 5-10 minutes, according to taste.

For taste you can:
Add Honey, blackstrap molasses (source of iron), sorghum, or maple syrup to sweeten. Mix with half and half (or a desired quantity) with fruit juice.
Add a squeeze of lemon, or lime.
Cut half and half with water.
Cut half and half with an herbal tea such as a Zinger.
