Preparation and Traditional Use

Moringa Leaf can be prepared in multiple ways, depending on desired use.

Hot Infusion

Ingredients (per cup, 200–250 ml):

• 1 teaspoon dried Moringa Leaf

• 200–250 ml hot water (90–95 °C, not boiling)

Place the dried Moringa Leaf in a teapot or cup and pour hot water over the leaves, taking care not to use boiling water to preserve the subtle flavour and aroma. Cover the container and allow the leaves to steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on your taste preference. Strain the infusion into a cup and enjoy as is, or enhance it with a slice of orange, a few mint leaves, or a dash of honey. Steeping for longer than 10 minutes can intensify the flavour, so adjust according to your preference.

Cold Infusion

Ingredients (per cup, 200–250 ml):

• 1 teaspoon dried Moringa Leaf

• 200–250 ml cold or room-temperature filtered water

To prepare a cold infusion, place the dried Moringa in a glass or ceramic container and pour the cold or room-temperature water over the leaves. Cover the container to prevent evaporation and preserve the aroma, and allow the leaves to steep for 8–12 hours at room temperature, or refrigerate for a gentler extraction. After steeping, strain the infusion carefully using a fine mesh strainer or tea filter. Serve cold or at room temperature, optionally adding a slice of lemon or a touch of natural sweetener. Consume within 24 hours for best flavour and freshness.

Morning Green Blend

Ingredients (per cup, 250 ml):

• 1 teaspoon Moringa Leaf

• ½ teaspoon Lemon Balm Leaf 

• ½ teaspoon Peppermint Leaf

• Optional: a slice of lemon or a pinch of cinnamon

Combine the Moringa with lemon balm and peppermint in a teapot or infuser cup. Pour 250 ml of hot water (90–95 °C) over the herbs and cover to retain the aroma. Allow the mixture to steep for 7–10 minutes before straining into a cup. Optionally, add a slice of lemon or a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the flavour. This gentle blend balances the mild, earthy notes of Moringa with the fresh, aromatic hints of lemon balm and peppermint, creating a soothing, flavourful drink.

Earthy Botanical Blend

Ingredients (per cup, 250 ml):

• 1 teaspoon Moringa Leaf

• ½ teaspoon Nettle Leaf

• ½ teaspoon Chamomile Flower

• Optional: a pinch of dried ginger, or a teaspoon of honey

To prepare this earthy herbal blend, mix Moringa with nettle and chamomile in a teapot or cup. Pour 250 ml of hot water (90–95 °C) over the herbs and cover to preserve the aroma. Let the herbs steep for 7–12 minutes, then strain carefully into a cup. Optionally, add a pinch of dried ginger, or a teaspoon of honey for extra flavour. This blend combines the mild, earthy taste of Moringa with the floral softness of chamomile and the gentle greenness of nettle, making it an ideal warm infusion for afternoon or evening enjoyment.
