Has anyone made this?? Do you strain the carrot and daikon after you boil it?? I made this a week ago [without straining] and thought it tasted horrible, but I also thought it helped. My thought was - I made it wrong. Any suggestions??? I want to make sure I'm making this right.
Hi Jamie,I'm on my 3rd day of drinking this tea. I fortunately love the taste. If you're making it according to Alicia's recipe, you drink it and eat the pulp. I started on Fri with the tea and the superhero vegan plan. I don't know what is helping what but I'm feeling great. Good luck.
Hi there, I'm going to make this tea for the first time tomorow...im just wondering whats the best way to get the carrot and daikon into a pulp??
Hi Mel, my first cup I grated the carrot and diakon on a plate to measure out how much would make 1/2 cup each. I just used a hand held grater (one I use to grate parmesan cheese with). Now I just put water in the pot and grate over top. Good luck.
I will have to say that I enjoyed it much more this morning than I did in the past. thanks Andy!
Sorry to ask a silly question but what is Daikon? I can't find it in the store? is it a veggie?
Hi Cheryl, I found mine at the grocery store under the name Lo Bok (chinese radish). At first I didn't know what I was looking for, so I did a google search and realized that it has other names. Also helped to see what it looked like. Good luck.
Cheryl,
sometimes it looks like a white(or pale yellow) huge cucumber or a carrot if it's got the leaves on it still
it could be in your produce section called a Japanese white radish or radish daikon, or even East Asian Radish
thank you...that helps. I will google it.. why didn't I think of that? lol
