Preparations
Guacatonga is traditionally prepared in the form of an infusion (tea). The suggested dosage is half a cup, 2 to 3 times daily.
To prepare an infusion of Guacatonga, place 20 grams of the powdered leaves in a tea ball or gauze bag and allow the powder to steep in 1 liter of freshly boiled hot water in a covered pot for 10–15 minutes. Pour the infusion through a fine strainer to remove any sediment and allow it to cool for a time before drinking. Refrigerate unused portions in a well sealed container.
