Rules for Beef Tea

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove skin, gristle, and fat from the meat, then shred it finely or pass it through a mincing machine.

  2. Soak the meat in water for 15 minutes before cooking.

  3. Heat the meat and water gently; do not allow it to boil.

  4. Strain the beef tea through a fine wire strainer to remove solid particles.

  5. Skim off any grease from the surface.

  6. Make only as much beef tea as needed for the next 12 to 15 hours.
