- 1). Use fresh ko‘oko‘olau leaves and flowering tops if they are available. If you use dried herb, use slightly less than fresh. For each cup of tea, place 12 fresh or dried leaves of ko‘oko‘olau into a teapot or teacup and then add boiling water.
- 2). Allow your tea to steep for about 10 minutes, then strain it and enjoy with sugar, honey, lemon, milk or other tasty additions.
- 1). Tinctures are extractions made with fresh or dried plant material combined with alcohol, cider vinegar or glycerin. They are simple to make and portable for people on the run or while traveling. First, fill a clean glass jar about half full with either fresh or dried ko‘oko‘olau leaves.
- 2). Fill your jar with vodka, rum, brandy, apple cider vinegar, or vegetable glycerin.
- 3). Shake the jar, label the contents (be sure to include the date) and allow it to sit in a cool, shady location for one month.
- 4). Shake your brewing tincture at least once each day.
- 5). After one month, strain your tincture and bottle it in smaller glass bottles with dropper tops for ease of use. Take no more than three full droppersful three times each day. Discontinue use when your symptoms improve.
