"I just returned from an 11 day cruise and wanted to share my "tea" routine. 

I contacted the NCL cruise line to see if I could bring my homemade tea in a gallon - they told me NO - has to be commercially made and sealed.  I wasn't going to buy someone else's brand of Essiac that was already made so here is what I did. It's not the exact way I would have done it at home, but I felt good knowing that I wasn't skipping 11 days of goodness.  

Supplies for Preparing Geniune Essiac on my Cruise

• 32 oz. stainless steel cup with a plastic lid for drinking (I already had this and didn't want to buy new).
• Purchased the small 1 quart packages for ease of use.
• Small measuring cup.
• Long wooden spoon for stirring.
• smaller 18 oz. stainless drinking cup with solid cover.

Pre-boarding

• I drove to the cruise terminal.
• I put tea from home in the small 18 oz. stainless cup and put it in my carry on.
• Security let me pass through with no issue. 

Upon boarding

• I emptied the small bag of herbs to make a quart into my 32 oz cup (I couldn't add the extra ounces of water).
• I went to the buffet and put hot water into my cup and stirred to mix the herbs but not too long as I didn't want to lose the heat.
• I went back to my cabin and put the cup with the plastic lid on inside a 1 gallon ziploc bag and covered the plastic lid with a face cloth to minimize heat loss. I zipped up the bag and placed my brewing tea inside an insulated cooler bag that we brought along for excursions.
• I let it sit for 12 hours.
• At the 12 hour mark, I unwrapped my 32 oz. tea (it was still warm) and put it in the little fridge in the cabin with the lid off as I needed the tea to get cold.
• When it was TEA TIME, I stirred to mix the herbs then measured out the ounces in my small measuring cup.
• I made a new batch as needed.

Shore excursions

I poured what I needed into the 18 oz. stainless cup to take with me if the excursion was long. 

Disembarkation

I took enough home in my stainless cup as I had to brew a fresh gallon at home.

Thank you for all you do and share."
