Method of Preparation:

• In Tea: Steep the dried leaves in hot water (about 90°C) for 5 to 8 minutes. Strain before drinking. Calea Tea is very bitter, you may use as much sweetener as needed. Lemon & Mint may also help.
• In Smoking Blend: Crush a few dried leaves to make a very thin powder in your hand, and mix with your favorite smoking blend (ratio: about 10-15% of Calea).
• In Tincture: Take a few drops of Calea Zacatechichi tincture in the evening, adding it to a glass of water or juice.
