Ginkgo comes in various forms and seems to be most effective when taken in several doses throughout the day that total 120–240 mg. Preparing a ginkgo biloba tea from leaves is very simple and only takes a few minutes. The first thing is to grab 50g of ginkgo biloba dried leaves. In the meanwhile, in a pot or saucepan add 1 litre of mineral water and wait for this to reach boiling point, then reduce the heat. Once the water has reached the maximum boiling point add the dried leaves of ginkgo biloba, cover the pot or pan and let it boil for at least 5 minutes. It is important that once those minutes have passed you turn off the heat and let the mixture stand for some 10 minutes so all components and properties of the plant are soaked in the infusion that you will drink. Finally you just have to strain the mixture to remove all traces of the ginkgo biloba leaves and pour it into a jug. As simple as that! In a just a moment you will have your infusion of ginkgo biloba tea from leaves ready to drink. We recommend drinking two cups a day after meals, not more than this dose because excessive consumption could cause an allergic reaction, headaches or an upset stomach.
