🔥 INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare the Leaves:
- If using fresh leaves, rinse thoroughly to remove any dust or residue.
- If using dried leaves, gently crush them to release their oils but avoid powdering them completely.
- Boil the Water:
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil.
- Add the moringa and soursop leaves. If using ginger or cinnamon, add them now.
- Simmer and Steep:
- Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10–12 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the tea to steep for an additional 5 minutes, covered. This helps extract the full therapeutic benefits.

- Add honey or jaggery if desired, and a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
- Presentation:
- Garnish with mint or citrus if serving to guests.
- For a chilled version, let the tea cool and serve over ice with a sprig of rosemary or basil.
