What was your method with these pods? How many pods/grams and did you boil + how long for? ? ?
I'm always willing to try a different method if someone reports good results.
The pods I have..are just under the size of tennis balls. I use about 8-10. And they are really thick too. So I use a good amount. They way I make them is quite simple but I'll post it anyway.
1. Break open pods, remove all seeds from inside.
2. Break pods up into little pieces, put them in a coffee bean grinder.
3. I put the pods through 3 grind cycles, to get them as fine as possible.
4. Boil a pot of water, an average size pot about half way full.
5. Dump the pods in while the water is still boiling.
6. After dumping in the pods, remove from heat, occasionally stirring the pod water.
7. After about 10 mins, I turn the stove on low for about 10 more minutes.
8. Then I turn the heat back off, and let it sit for about another 10-15 mins.
9. Then I strain them into a bowl through a t shirt. I find trying to strain them into into a mug is harder, and you can spill (waste) some of it. So first I strain into a bowl, and then pour the liquid into a mug.
If anyone needs me to elaborate any part of my method, I'll be more than happy too. I'm actually in the process of making some right now! [=
