How do you prepare Naturejam Cocolmeca root tea?

Boil a handful of root pieces in half a gallon (1.89 L) of water for approximately 20 minutes, then let the tea steep for 10 to 20 minutes. The directions suggest drinking 2–3 cups daily. They also note that the steeped root can be used two more times because the infusion is strong.

• Begin with a handful of root pieces; no weight for a handful is provided.
• Allow 10 to 20 minutes for steeping after boiling.
• The root can be reused for two additional infusions.

What is Cocolmeca, also called Chaney root?

Cocolmeca comes from the roots and underground stems, or rhizomes, of a woody vine native to Central America. The plant is common in Mexico’s temperate and tropical climates. Its leaves are heart-shaped, and it produces flowers and small red berries; the roots and rhizomes are edible.

• Some Cocolmeca species are used in American root beer.
• Herbal traditions have also associated Chaney root with rash-related use and blood cleansing; this tea is an herbal preparation, not a substitute for medical care.

What comes in the Naturejam Cocolmeca root tea package?

The product is a 1-pound amount of Cocolmeca root for preparing tea, rather than a prepared beverage. Its no-processing description refers to the root’s form; the tea is made by boiling and steeping the pieces at home.

• The product is identified as Cocolmeca bark and Chaney root wood as well as Cocolmeca root.
• The tea preparation uses water and root pieces; the directions do not give a specific root weight per batch.

Naturejam Cocolmeca root is suited to people who want loose, unprocessed Chaney root and are comfortable boiling and steeping it to make tea. It is a root ingredient for home preparation, not a ready-to-drink tea.
