Senna alata leaf decoction

"Preparation of the akapulko decoction~1. Remove the leaflets from the rachis of a mature leaf.~2. Wash the mature leaflets thoroughly to remove dust, dirt and debris.~3. In the clay, enamel, or stainless steel pot, place one glassful of closely packed chopped leaves (350 ml glass) and add 2 glasses (around 700ml) of clean water . Use the same glass for measuring the leaves and water.~4. Cook the leaves and bring to a rolling boil.~5. When the fluid is reduced to half, remove the decoction from the fire and cool slightly.~6. Strain the mixture using cheesecloth and press the cut leaves in the strainer to make sure to get as much liquid out of them.~7. Place the liquid in a clean container (bottle/jar with cover). Label the container clearly as Akapulko."
