How To Brew Rasa

Top 4 Recommended Brewing Methods:

1. FRENCH PRESS: 10-15+ minute brew time. Most presses keep it plenty hot, but if you enjoy extra-hot beverages, you can cover your French press with a dish towel to keep the heat in. 

2. PERCOLATOR: All percolators are different, but generally they’ll switch to the warming setting when brewing’s done!

3. MOKA POT: (aka stovetop espresso/Cuban coffee): Use 1 tbsp per shot/latte (don't pack the bottom full!)

4. ESPRESSO MACHINE: Put 1 tbsp Rasa in portafilter, do not tamp, & pull a double-double. Yes, two double shots. All machines are a bit different—you may need to experiment to find the best way for your machine!

Re-Brew? Don’t Mind If Do!
All the Rasas can be brewed a second time for better value. Just add a little fresh dry Rasa and brew longer for the 2nd round.

You can also brew Rasa with...

1. Aeropress: 10 minute brew time. Invert the Aeropress, press out the goods!

2. Keurig: With reusable K-cups! Use no more than 1.5 tbsp of Rasa & brew on strongest setting (ideally an espresso setting if you have one.) All machines are a bit different—you may need to experiment to find the best way for your machine! Many people also brew 2-3 times with the same herbs.

3. Turkish/Arabic coffee pot: Simmer for at least 10 mins and strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

4. Tea infuser or reusable/disposable tea bag: Cover the pot or mug while it brews 10-15+ mins.

4. Pour over: ONLY use a pour over if you can control brew time! Otherwise you won't get a full extraction.

5. Simmering: Either place the herbs directly in a pot or into a brew bag for easy clean up. Add to boiling water, COVER THE POT, & simmer on med-low for 10-15 minutes. Strain the herbs or remove the brew bag, and drink up!

Please do not use in a drip coffee machine!

The extraction time is not long enough to get all the benefits out of the roots & mushrooms. Like so many of us, they need some solid time in hot water to unfold and offer up the good stuff.

For Cold Rasa...

We don't recommend cold-brewing Rasa. Unlike coffee, these herbs need some time in hot water to fully extract their goodness! If you'd like cold Rasa, you can either:

1. Brew double-strong & pour over ice.

2. Make Rasa cubes & pour regular-strength Rasa over Rasa cubes.

3. Make it in advance & chilllllll. You can also make a large batch to store in the fridge—it keeps for up to a week in a sealed container!
