Alright, so to start off the first brew, SWIM is going to use 50 g caapi, and 15 g chalipongs and would like to use the crockpot method, so this is what SWIM plans to do:
some preliminary questions : should SWIM mix the two substances when boiling or should he keep them separate? which one is most effective?
should he crush the material beforehand?
Method:
1) vines/leafs added to crockpot. Distilled water with acidic pH (from vinegar) added to mixture.
2) lid put on, on low setting, cooked for 8 hours (let SWIM know if this is too short)
3) collect tea into another container (either by separating contents or through using a cloth filter, let SWIM know your critique on this as well), and repeat process but for 4 hours instead
4) collect tea once more, and freeze the remaining chaliponga/vine
5) cook for 7 hours once more, and collect once more
6) cook for 7 hours last time, and collect for last time
7) combine liquids (Regardless of whether the two substances were initially separated or not, they will coalesce in this stage, unless a more experienced member says otherwise)
8) reduce liquids, through traditional boiling methods
One round of this will take SWIM about a week if he separates the two substances and decides to make two separate tea, and SWIM would like to make another batch as well, so all in all, this would take SWIM around two weeks, which is very lengthy but he hopes this will be worth the effort.
