Step-by-Step Brewing Instructions - How to Make One Gallon (for the vast majority of use cases)
2-Week Supply for one adult when drinking Essiac 3 times per day, or 3-Week Supply for one adult when drinking Essiac twice per day. If you are preparing the tea for a small pet under 85 lb. or for a child under 85 lb. skip to this section.
1. Bring 134 oz. (1 gallon plus 6 oz. to account for evaporation) of water to a boil and reduce to a moderate boil). To see how this looks in real life, check out this video.
2. Add 4 oz. dry weight on a scale (113 grams) of the Essiac powder. Order here
If you purchased the 4 oz. (113 grams) packets you simply empty one into the pot. If you purchased a larger 1 lb. bulk bag, you will do best if weigh out the herbs. Please actually weigh your herbs on a kitchen scale to ensure you have the correct amount (a very rough approximation of 4 oz. dry herbs - which weighs 113 grams - is 1 1/4 cups of herbs when using dry measurement cups instead of a kitchen scale. Feel free to use the measuring cups until you can get a scale. If you don't already have one, please visit our supplies page to order one. It much more precise to weigh than measure since the herbs settle at varying rates, which making measuring with cups far less accurate. Keep in mind that 4 oz. of liquid is not the same as 4 oz. of weight, so do not measure using measuring cups designed for liquid measure. You'll know it's a liquid measuring cup because it will have lines on the side indicating how many oz. the liquid is, and measuring cups for dry measure come in a set with varying sizes offered.
3. Turn the heat down to result in a moderate boil for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
You may keep a cover on the pan with just a bit of air exposed to reduce evaporation, but it's not necessary.
4. Turn the heat off and leave the Essiac tea sitting at room temperature for twelve hours.
You may keep a cover on the pan if you like, but it's not necessary.
5. After the 12 hours have passed, stir the tea vigorously to disperse the remnants of the herbs throughout the mixture and pour it into a container of your choice.
Open top containers work well for convenience when you need to stir the tea before pouring each serving to distribute the herbs that have settled. Refrigerate the tea. You can use any type of jar or pitcher that you'd normally use for iced tea.
Varying Size Batches - Learn the Ratios
How to Brew a Quart of Essiac (For small children or small animals, or adults who drink the tea twice per day)
1. Boil 34 oz. of pure water in a large pot.
2. Add 1 oz. (28 grams) of the Essiac herbs blend. It's best to weigh the herbs, but a heaping 1/4 dry measurement cup is an estimate.
(Steps 3-5 are the same as appear above).
How to Brew a Pint of Essiac (For very small animals such as a cat)
1. Boil 20 oz. of pure water in a large pot.
2. Add 1/2 oz. (14 grams) of the Essiac herbs blend. It's best to weigh the herbs, but a heaping 1/8 dry measurement cup is an estimate. If you need a kitchen scale, you can find one on our supplies page.
(Steps 3-5 are the same as appear above).
How to Store Brewed Essiac
- You will store the brewed Essiac in a container of your choice in the refrigerator. Take the pitcher out when it's time to pour your servings.
- Leave the herb particles in the Essiac and consume them as you drink the tea. Because these are powdered herbs, you don't have to strain anything - the herbs are meant to be taken into the body as you drink the tea. The herbs increase the useful compounds of the brew. Rene Caisse herself recommended leaving the herbs in the tea.
- You can stir the container with a large spoon before pouring each serving in order to distribute the herbs so that you are able to drink some of the herbs each time, and that means there will be no herbs left at the end of the batch. You can try shaking the container, but stirring usually works best.
- Do not try to brew Essiac Tea to last more than three weeks. Your Essiac will stay good for up to three weeks, and after that you should make a fresh batch of tea.
- If you find it difficult to drink Essiac straight, you may mix your Essiac Tea with all-natural fruit or vegetable juice. See the other allowed mix-ins here. It's best to consume the Essiac as-is (cold). Heating it up risks overprocessing it. If you absolutely can't take the Essiac cold, you may leave a serving out on the counter at room temperature for an hour or so before drinking it.
- Always drink Essiac on an empty stomach. This means you need to avoid eating two hours before and one hour after drinking Essiac. Example: If you finish eating breakfast at 8am, you can have Essiac at 10am and then you can have a snack if you wish at 11am.
- Use your cell phone alarm to remind yourself when to take each serving. For Essiac purposes, “empty stomach” means no food 2 hours before taking Essiac and 1 hour after taking Essiac. Take Essiac with you in a thermos with a few ice cubes when you leave the house to make mid-day servings easy.
- If you must eat and take Essiac at the same time, that is much better than skipping your Essiac entirely. You can take black coffee, tea or any other beverage free of added sugar and protein, as well as any supplements or medications during the "empty stomach" time. You can even take other supplements that also must be taken on an empty stomach at the same time as your Essiac.
-
Please keep in mind that amino acids and protein powders count as a food, not a supplement for the purposes of Essiac because they contain protein. If what you are consuming contains more than 2 grams of protein, please count that as a food, not a supplement. The same goes for oil based supplements. If they contain more than 2 grams of fat per serving they will also fall into the food category.

Curious about the texture?
Please know that the powedered herbs are a very important part of this tea. You can see Rene Caisse making powdered herbs in this video at the 20 minute mark.
- There is supposed to be a thick layer of particles at the bottom after you have brewed Essiac (some describe it as "mud" or "sludge").
- It's supposed to be a substantial amount of herbs and it's supposed to be thick and "goopy."
- You didn't do anything wrong! It's important to get some of these particles into your body during each and every serving.
- The most effective way to do this for most people is to use a large wooden spoon to stir the pitcher before pouring each serving.
- It's OK to leave the pitcher open while it's left in the fridge. You can leave the top entirely off.
- Stirring tends to work better than shaking especially when the pitcher is full.

Common Questions about Making Essiac Tea
Even if you knew the authentic formula (it's proprietary) it will likely cost a lot of money for one person to buy the individual herbs. At Genuine Essiac, we are able to arrange for volume discounts on the powdered herbs, which generally cost more than whole herbs.
Suggested use is to drink it as directed for at least six months.
No - it's best to follow the instructions to make the larger size batch as it reduces margin of error with measurements and minimize transition time in between batches. The worst thing that could happen is you run out of tea in the middle of your regimen because you didn't time the preparation of the next batch in time. When you are down to 3 servings of tea, it means it's time to make more
