Implementation Timeline Table
| Step | Time | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Prep | 5 min | Wash leaves thoroughly; chop roughly | Removes debris, maximizes extraction |
| 2. Boil | 25-30 min | Simmer covered in water | Releases water-soluble compounds deeply |
| 3. Strain & Cool | 10 min | Strain; let reach comfortable warmth | Safe, potent tea ready |
| 4. Sip | Morning & Evening | 1 glass (about 200-250 ml) each | Gentle twice-daily support |
| 5. Cycle | 7 days | Short trial; assess how you feel | Allows noticeable shifts without overuse |
