extracting ketanpang essences tutorial wif lots of pix!!!
ok bros.... today i extracted ketanpang juice frm my harvested k leaves. so i've decided to make a tutorial along the way
reasons for using the extract instead of putting k leaves. - convenient to store - the hot water will kill any harmful bacterial present as the leaves may carry it. - can extract more than just plain soaking in the tank. less wastage of leaves! - need not worry bout rotting leaves - i din use boiling water as i feel that it may spoil the essence due to high temps or over heating. Pick those beautiful not torn k leaves =) wash it clean n placed it under sunlight to dry. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1082008471.jpg In a few days once they dried off, the leaves will be crispy brown n v easy to crush them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008472.jpg Take the leaves n crush them into small pieces. notice how easy they break?? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008473.jpg Place the crush leaves into a glass container. (about 3 medium size for mine) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008474.jpg Add hot water to the container n cap it. *warning* do not add those boiling hot water from the kettle into the glass container as u may crack the glass! the intense heat may also spoil the essence of the extract. hot water wif some steam is enf =) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008475.jpg |
Let the water settle for about an hour n the solution should be dark brownish in colour. the solution should still be slightly warm.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008476.jpg Using a swivel n funnel, filter n pour the extract into the desire container. using a paper filter at this stage would be good too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008477.jpg Notice the k leaf after extraction?? areas between the veins have turn lighter in colour??? this shows that the brownish essences has been extracted out! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008478.jpg And there u have it... k water:D take a smell at the k extract, its smells like tea!!!! no wonder the fish loves it! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4082008480.jpg hope this tutorial was helpful =) |
