How to make Gotu Kola herbal tea:
Add sugar and water to make syrup and set aside. The ratio of sugar to water is 2:1. After buying Gotu Kola, you need to pick out the green leaves and clean the soil. After picking out the green leaves, put it into a juicer with a ratio of half a cup of Gotu Kola and half a cup of cold water to make juice. If you like a stronger drink, add more Gotu Kola root. Generally, I use 3:2 without cooking it.
