Tips & Warnings










Homemade teas are the result of steeping your ingredients in very hot water. Get water boiling and dice your passion fruit up into tiny bits. Adding ingredients like ginger, lemon or even garlic can give your tea a power punch. Let the contents steep for several minutes and then either strain them out or leave them settled in the bottom of the glass.








As with any extracts, consult a medical advisor before taking passion fruit extracts. Diet is a first step and health extracts should be used only as necessary.
