Palo azul
What the bark bags say
Many cooks boil every bark for a long time. The bags on this shelf print something shorter. Palo azul chips and the palo de víbora and quina roja pair give the house steep: a tablespoon in a strainer, hot water poured over, covered three to five minutes. Canutillo steeps five to seven minutes in water just off a rolling boil. The product description of palo azul gives a longer way, three to five pieces boiled in water, and its card prints both. The tea takes on a blue tint as it stands, and the powder bag asks for alkaline water for the blue.
This shelf also holds the herbs with the shortest descriptions in English. Wereke is a root of the pumpkin family, cuachalalate is a Mexican bark whose bag prints no method of its own, and canutillo is the jointed stem sold in the US as Mormon tea. Read their cards before you buy, and the herb safety page before you drink.

YERBERO barks, roots and stems: questions
What people ask about palo azul and the other barks.
How do you make YERBERO palo azul?
The chips bag prints a short steep: a tablespoon in a strainer in a mug or teapot, hot water over it, covered three to five minutes. The product description gives a longer way, three to five pieces boiled in water. The tea takes on a blue tint as it stands, more so in alkaline water.
Do you make YERBERO palo azul powder the same way as the chips?
No. The powder bag asks for one tablespoon to half a gallon of water: boil the water, let it settle off the boil, then steep 15 to 30 minutes. It recommends alkaline water for the blue color.
What should you know before you drink YERBERO canutillo or quina roja?
Canutillo is a plant of the genus Ephedra, and quina roja is red cinchona bark. Read the herb safety page and ask your doctor before you drink either one.
