Sunflower roots are a dense herbal material, so they are prepared as a decoction rather than as ordinary tea. The general principle: pour cold or warm water over the roots, bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat, then leave to infuse under a lid and strain. It is during boiling that the plant's natural compounds, which give the drink its properties, pass from the roots into the water.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Cookware. An enamelled or glass pan is best — it does not react with the plant components.
- Water. Filtered or drinking water without any off-odours is suitable — this affects the taste of the finished drink.
- Storing the prepared decoction. A freshly made decoction should be kept in the fridge for no more than 24 hours and warmed before drinking — longer storage lowers the quality of the drink.
- The herb itself. Keep the pack of roots in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture so that the herb does not lose its properties before it is used up.
It is best to check the specific dosage and length of the course with a specialist or to follow the recommendations on the packaging — especially if you take any medicines or have chronic conditions.
