I too had trouble at first getting the tea strong enough to give me that boost I
was used to. After experimenting, I found that if I measured out 2 TBLSP. into a
tea strainer and poured boiling water over the leaves, then let them sit for
about 10-20 minutes to "steep".That seems to makes the most effective tea. I
concentrate it, then pour it over ice and make an "iced ephedra" tea. I sweeten
it with Stevia if needed. Hope this helps. Sarah
PS- I re-use my leaves a couple of times and only add about a tsp. more to each
subsequent batch. Seems to work well and saves $$$
