How do you use Papaya leaf?

Papaya leaf is supplied as a finely ground, dried herb. The quickest way to enjoy this herbal mix is to make tea from it. Use 1 to 2 teaspoons per cup of hot water, let the tea steep for 5 to 20 minutes and then strain the mixture. The longer the tea steeps, the stronger the flavour will be. You can add a flavouring or sweetener to taste to make the tea more pleasant. For the active ingredients to work optimally, it is important that the water is not boiling when you pour it over the herbs. Water of around 90 degrees Celsius is ideal, so let boiled water cool for a minute or two before using it. A well-sealed teapot or mug with a lid helps retain volatile substances during steeping.
