You can find ‘em at them health food stores, or maybe even grow your own if you’re the gardenin’ type. Boil some water, like you’re makin’ coffee. Put a few of them leaves in a cup, pour the hot water over ‘em, and let it sit for a bit. Don’t go overboard with the leaves the first time, though, this stuff can be kinda strong, a little bitter even. Start with a little, then add more if you need it stronger. Taste it, see?
