What each ingredient does
- Lean beef
- Provides the meaty flavor and dissolved protein that give the tea its body.
- Water
- Draws out the beef's flavor and carries it into the liquid as it soaks and simmers.
The step that matters
Soak the beef in water for 5 to 6 hours. Soaking lets water slowly draw flavor and soluble compounds out of the cut beef before heating, so the tea is more flavorful than a quick boil would produce.
