ok bros.... today i extracted ketanpang juice frm my harvested k leaves. so i've decided to make a tutorial along the way
reasons for using the extract instead of putting k leaves. - convenient to store - the hot water will kill any harmful bacterial present as the leaves may carry it. - can extract more than just plain soaking in the tank. less wastage of leaves! - need not worry bout rotting leaves - i din use boiling water as i feel that it may spoil the essence due to high temps or over heating. Pick those beautiful not torn k leaves =) wash it clean n placed it under sunlight to dry. ![]() In a few days once they dried off, the leaves will be crispy brown n v easy to crush them. ![]() Take the leaves n crush them into small pieces. notice how easy they break?? ![]() Place the crush leaves into a glass container. (about 3 medium size for mine) ![]() Add hot water to the container n cap it. *warning* do not add those boiling hot water from the kettle into the glass container as u may crack the glass! the intense heat may also spoil the essence of the extract. hot water wif some steam is enf =) ![]() |

Let the water settle for about an hour n the solution should be dark brownish in colour. the solution should still be slightly warm.
![]() Using a swivel n funnel, filter n pour the extract into the desire container. using a paper filter at this stage would be good too. ![]() Notice the k leaf after extraction?? areas between the veins have turn lighter in colour??? this shows that the brownish essences has been extracted out! ![]() And there u have it... k water ![]() ![]() hope this tutorial was helpful =) Last edited by VR2004; 14-08-2008 at 06:28 PM. |
