General Instructions:

• Boil 2 litres of water for 5 minutes and pour into a thermos flask.
• Add the herb/spices and close the top to keep the aroma in.
• Strain out the herbs/spices out as you use the water.
• Discard the water after not more than 24 hours.
• Drink the water throughout the day - not too much at meals depending on how dry the food is. If the meal is spicy plain water may be better.
• Wait for 45 minutes after the meal, you may suddenly feel thirsty, and then it's a good idea to drink a lot of water as the body needs it for digestion.
