How to Make Moringa Tea Powder

Collect a bunch of fresh moringa leaves, whether from a nearby tree or your local health food store, and don’t bother to pluck the tiny ones one by one. Rinse them thoroughly under running water, or fill a large bowl with clean water and dip them all at once, holding them at the stems. After making sure you’ve cleaned the leaves well, shake off the excess water. The next step is collecting the dry leaves. Instead of removing them one by one from the hooks, you can shove a bunch of them in a clean plastic bag, secure the opening and then shake and squeeze the bag. Do the same thing for the rest of the dried leaves. Now, put the moringa leaves in a bowl and remove the larger stems. You can keep the tiny ones which break apart easily. Finally, turn them into fine powder using a food processor or a coffee grinder. Some people say it’s easier if you refrigerate the dried leaves for a few hours before pulverizing them. Store your moringa tea powder in a clean and dry container with a lid, and keep it in a cool and dry place.
