Moringa leaves are often found behind my house and its benefits are very numerous for health, namely to lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar levels, fight cancer cells and many more. And all of this has been proven to be effective in my body to lower my husband's blood sugar levels and my own cholesterol. Actually, these leaves are enough to just be boiled, but if I do it every day it feels too complicated so last Sunday when I had nothing to do I made these moringa leaves into herbal tea that can last longer than having to boil them every day,
The ingredients I use in making this herbal tea are
1. 500 grams of wet moringa leaves
sorry i forgot to take a picture
2. 7-11 pandan leaves
3. 400 ML of water or 2 glasses of water.
The process of making herbal tea from start to brewing:
1. The first thing I did was take some stems of moringa leaves then I separated the stems and leaves. And this separation process made me a little bored but I enjoyed it after everything was done I separated it then I washed it clean and drained it.

2. The second step is I took the pandan leaves and I threw away the white tips, then I washed it clean until there were no caterpillars or small animals stuck between the pandan leaves. Then I cut the pandan leaves into small pieces and I put them together with the moringa leaves. (in the photo the moringa leaves have started to dry then I put in the pandan leaves because when I was processing this I had a sudden need so I dried the moringa leaves first for about 1 hour, then I started cutting the pandan leaves). However, the order of making it at one time the pandan leaves and moringa leaves are dried together.
3. After the moringa leaves and pandan leaves are finished in stages one and two, then I dry them in a place that is not too hot, clean and free from dust, especially flies. And dry it for about 2-3 days.
4. After the moringa leaves and pandan leaves are dry, then I grind them using a dry blender. I store the moringa leaves that I have ground in a glass jar and because there are no preservatives whatsoever, I don't know how long it will last because I have finished brewing this tea in 2 months.
5. And the brewing process is to heat 2 glasses of water until boiling after that I put in ½ tablespoon of ground moringa leaf tea, I stirred it for a while then I covered it until it was warm.
6. After it was warm I filtered the moringa leaf tea and you can see the tea sediment. I let it all settle after that I drank it.
7. My husband and I consume this moringa leaf tea every 2 days. And this has been going on for 1 month.
I consume this moringa leaf tea at night 2 hours before I go to bed and after I consume it routinely what I feel in my body is that the nighttime urination that bothers me when I sleep at night is no longer felt, my cholesterol has gone down and another thing is when I urinate it is finished what I feel and there is no more blocking in my urinary tract.
Have you ever felt the same as me and always consume chemical drugs? If this leaf is in your country, try making it like me. But still don't overdo it. Good luck and greetings from me maytom, Indonesia
