Moringa is dubbed as the “superfood” because its nutritional contents. This plants is native to to Indian subcontient and can be easily found around south east asia. There are many names referring to Moringa in common tongue. Apparently, Moringa is rich with vitamin A and has a few minerals even rich in potassium. In many countries around the world, Moringa is used in cooking and has been subject to medicinal research too.

I personally know about that from a while ago when I started spotting moringa around the internet. I didn’t realize this tree grows around the yard. Only a few days ago I started realizing that it grows around the house and I can utilize it to make this powdered superfood.

What are the steps turning moringa into fine powder?

1. Pluck a few fresh leaves from the stem.
2. Wash the moringa clean

3.Dry it outside until you can hear the crunch

4.Use blender to turn them into fine powder

5.Sift the powder and it’s ready to use.

When I make the tea, it tastes a little strange. There’s a hint of spice and mint together making it quite a spicy beverage. I have not explored alternatives of making them because my dad didn’t quite like it but we’re thinking of putting them into tiny capsules so it’s a lot easier to consume for him.

I even read in a report that it could help with diseases that affects our nervous system which is something my dad really needs. So, I am hoping it could alleviate his pain.

I am prepping this every morning because the sun is really out and it speeds up the roasting process. A lot of people I know dry them about 2-3 days but for me all it takes is just half a day because it’s really that hot around here. So, it was pretty quick that they dried and I can already drink moringa tea during the night.

Making moringa tea is also not that hard. I use 2 tbsp to make the tea and for my dad, I use 3-4 tbsp before steeping it with hot water to make a warm drink.
