Soursop Leaves
How to make soursop leaf tea, wash the leaves, then boil them in water for about 5 minutes before turning off the heat and steeping for another 10-15 minutes. Strain the liquid into a mug, and add a sweetener like honey if desired. Step 1: Prepare the ingredients and equipment Wash the soursop leaves thoroughly, whether fresh or dried. For a stronger flavor, tear or chop the leaves into smaller pieces. Boil water in a pot. A good starting ratio is 2-3 leaves per cup (about 250ml) of water, though this can be adjusted for a stronger tea. Step 2: Brew the tea Add the prepared leaves to the boiling water. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the leaves to simmer for about 5-15 minutes. For a stronger tea, you can steep for up to 30 minutes. Step 3: Steep and serve Turn off the heat and let the tea steep for another 10-15 minutes to fully extract the flavor. Strain the liquid into a cup, discarding the leaves. Sweeten with honey or another sweetener to taste, if desired.
