Guayusa leaves contain various beneficial compounds linked to potential health benefits. This Amazonian plant is rich in antioxidants and caffeine . Its tea is safe to drink and serves as an excellent alternative to coffee. The caffeine in one cup of brewed guayusa is said to be comparable to the caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Boil fresh water, and then pour it onto the leaves in a cup.
Let it steep for 4–7 minutes. The longer it brews the deeper the color and flavor will be.
Use about 2 grams of loose leaves for every 8 ounces of guayusa you want to make.
