Soaking Schizandra Berries
Soaking the berries is a fairly simple process and can be achieved by soaking your whole dried berries or ground powder (less preferred) in pure water for several hours or overnight. The soaked plump fruits are then strained, rinsed again and usually pressed slightly to remove most of the tannin-containing soaking water. These are the berries you will be using in your tea decoction. This "decoction" procedure involves placing the pre-soaked berries in boiling water and then simmering it on low heat for 15-20 minutes. Sometimes when schizandra is overcooked it develops a less palatable taste so it is good to keep it within this brew time. Unlike other tonic herbs, such as ginseng, that can be re-used more than once, the berries should be discarded and not re-used. If you are making tea on a regular basis, as per the "100 days in a row" tradition, you might want to pre-soak a larger quantity of schizandra and store it in the fridge for daily use when making your schizandra berry tea recipes.
