Māmaki Brewing Tips:
- Hot Māmaki: Use 1-2 tablespoons (1g - 2g) of loose Māmaki per 8-10 oz boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes. The longer you steep it, the thicker and more syrupy it will get!
- Overnight Steep: Crumble 1/4 cup of Māmaki in a glass quart jar or French press. Fill with boiling water and steep overnight.
- Don’t discard your leaves after the first steep! Māmaki can be brewed a second time.
- The longer you let Māmaki steep, the more syrupy it gets. It’s perfect for sore throats.
- Skip the milk and white sugar. For a touch of sweetness, add local honey or fruit.
- To maximize health benefits (and your time), brew a 1/2 or whole gallon of Māmaki, steep overnight, then store in the fridge and drink throughout the week. Optionally, add a splash of honey, cinnamon, apple or guava juice.
- Tasting notes: Naturally sweet, slightly earthy, and with notes of hazelnut; medium-bodied and amber color.
- Caffeine-free: Our 1.1 ounce bag of loose Māmaki brews 2.5-4 gallons
