Ingredients
- 3-4 kawakawa leaves — be sure to pick the emerald green leaves with small holes, this means the leaf is juicy and ripe with stronger medicinal properties. Only take as much as you need.
- 2” fresh ginger root
- Slices of lemon
Method
[5 mins]
Boil a pot of water.
Finely grate the ginger root. Slice the lemon.
Pour boiled water into a teapot, and add fresh kawakawa leaves and ginger. Leave to steep for 3mins.
Add a slice of lemon to your cup, and pour in the freshly brewed kawakawa tea.
It is correct protocol to return the kawakawa leaves to the plant from which you harvested so that they can be incorporated back to where they came from.
