PROCEDURE

Firstly, I had to go plug out my leaves after which I separated the stem from the leaves for the guava, put all leaves together in a big bowl and added enough water so as to make leaves free from dirt. I washed leaves thrice with enough water since I would be drinking it.

After washing, I then carried a clean pot put my leaves inside the pot and added the 800ml of water. After adding water I went ahead to peel off the skin of the lemon and then sliced it into parts and added to the rest ingredients.

Note that the container showed in the above picture is 400ml so I measured it twice to to give me 800ml.

I then put it on fire and allowed to boil for 20-25 minutes to release it nutrients for me.

I allowed it to cool down a bit so it won't burn my mouth and also sieve it which is optional but I choose to cause I want a smooth texture and also store in the fridge so I can warm it up for next time. Consume 240ml per day for twice or three times a week for best results.
