Making Katukina Soothing Sananga
The formula for making the soothing Katukina sananga is 2 parts sananga powder with 5 parts boiling water. For this formula, you may use grams and ml interchangeably. This means that for every 2 grams (or 2 ml) of sananga powder, you should add 5 grams (or 5 ml) of boiling water
For example, let's say you want to make a small batch of sananga eye drops using 10 grams of sananga powder. Here's how you would calculate the amount of boiling water needed: sananga powder: 10 grams, Boiling water: 10 grams × (5 ÷ 2) = 25 grams or ml. So, you would mix 10 grams of sananga powder with 25 grams (or 25 ml) of boiling water.
1/ Place sananga powder and boiling water in a sterlized mason jar. Stir and then loosly replace the lid, Wait for the decoction to cool to room remperature.
2/ Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or nut milk bag.
3/ [Optional] Add 5% colloidal silver as a natural preservative. For example, if you have 100 milliliters of sananga liquid, add 5 milliliters of colloidal silver.
4/ Store the cooled and filtered sananga in glass dropper bottles or a glass jar inside the refrigerator. The freshly made sananga will last at least 4 months when refrigerated.
Pro Tip: You can easily scale this recipe up or down depending on the amount of sananga powder you have or the quantity of eye drops you want to make. Just remember to always maintain the 2:5 ratio of sananga powder to boiling water.
