I found the directions to be a bit difficult but when I did get it made up and used as directed for a day or so I became extremely ill!! I don't know if it was the tea or what - but I have not gone back to try it since.

Each packet makes ~34 ounces of tea. I start with 40oz of distilled water and usually wind up with about 31-32 after boiling. I will add a little distilled to make the final batch exactly 34 oz. if needed.

You could use this for any of your recipes, seeing that it's misleading.... it's only got a 6 quart capacity! I just received mine, and measured it. Yep, only 6 quarts will fit in it.

It is apparently a mistake, My container say "Net W Think it is a mistake. My container reads "NET WT. 1 1/4 OZ. Should last a long time. (You can get it cheaper.). BG

I've only made small batches (8 to 12 ounces) of solution at a time using approximately 1/4 teaspoon or less at a time because the mixed solution doesn't keep. The stronger your solution is, the faster it works. I would guess the entire container would make 2 gallons, maybe 3, but that's just an estimate.

That doesn't make any sense. I would contact the manufacturer. I compared and they are different. Maybe it is a typo.

Hi! It was advertised as 12, then 10, then 12 qt. I wanted it so I didn't care, though I think it is a sleazy practice! It is only 10 qt, but is a good looking item and does what they say it will.(And "10 qt" is indeed stamped on the bottom). And I bet the "new" one I see advertised is also a 10 qt! Good luck!

Ok, so is it safe to boil up to 2 qt. - that seemed a little unclear about 2 qt.? Two quarts would be fine, one quart would be too small in our house - some mornings with a 2 qt. I would still need to boil twice to make everyones tea and hot coco.

the only information I've ever been able to garner on the ratio is from the label, where is just states that there are more 6 than 3. this could be as low as 2:1 by that statement, so I don't know for sure. I did want to attempt to answer this question as best I could, or maybe more accurately couldn't, because I really do believe this product works and makes a difference in my day to day life. sorry I couldn't be more specific to your question, but did want to share my positive experience with this product. thanks.

As I figure it mathematically, the ratio works out to almost 4 teaspoons of the concentrate to 1 quart of water. I don't see why the manufacturer can't provide a handy instruction like this instead of ounces and gallons which require multiple steps of conversion, or why the instructions can't be attached directly to the bottle instead of put in a detachable pamphlet which easily gets lost, line mine did. I had to come here to find the ratio of concentrate to water.

I asked myself the same question because the label isn't clear. I assumed that 2 tbsp to a glass could mean either an eight-ounce glass or a six-ounce glass. Because it's juice, I started with a juice glass--six ounces. I like the flavor a little strong so when I make it up by the quart, I use the 2T to 6OZ ratio and then add a little bit more. Maybe that's why they weren't very specific, knowing people have different tastes.

I love Kava but was miffed that it was ONLY available in a 3-pack, 4-ounce size! I am used to finding the wonderful non-acid producing instant coffee in an 8-ounce, so when I quickly read the pack description, I didn't truly connect with the size. I misunderstood the info and thought I was getting a BIGGER jar of 16 oz. NOT (LOL) 16 oz. divided into FOUR wasteful jars. This is NOT something I will re-order if I can find ONE 8-ounce jar. (of course, the jars are reusable and recyclable, but the initial production for them is the waste of energy and product) I was disappointed in the package but not in the contents.

Hi Amy, It may have been a typo you read? It should say one as in quanity..1 roast that is a 5 lbs. That is how we read it and exactly what we received which by the way was AWESOME!!!!! :)It will easily feed you all too! Hope this helps and hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Should also be able to inquire through the Co. where it originates from also. Good luck to you.

Check your instruction booklet! I know you can program it to make different quantities, it may just be set up to brew for 6. How that helps!

Each container would have 4 cups or 2 applications. You need to dilute as much as possible with hot water. I used 2 times but I think if I think if I was patient, once would have been enough. It wasn't going down but I think it's because the gunk loosened up and were blocking the passage. After 2, I had to use a plunger and it quickly drained. It has been a month. No problem. I've used 2 tablespoons as maintenance every other week. I like the product.

There is more than enough matieral within the packets to get more than one go out of them. Multiple experiments pull from them, so they give a generous quantity, aside from the fact that a little bit goes a very long way. Something that is nice too, is that ordinary household ingredients are used for the experiments so that you can buy more if you need.

I normally make a 12 cup brew, and it takes about the same time, so I'm not sure why your 2 cup brew would be as long?? My theory is to make 12 cups at one time, and microwave the coffee in my cup for the next couple days, but if you have an aversion to that, it actually doesn't change the flavor! I can't imagine that a 2 cup brew would take as long as a 12 cup brew, but maybe it's inherent in the brewing process??

The directions say to add 2tbsp to hot or cold beverage. My coffee is very hot and so far I love the results I'm getting from the product. I think you'll be fine. It does change the taste of the coffee a but though.
