How to use

How do you make instant Korean ginseng tea?

Empty one 2 g sachet into a cup of hot or cold water and stir until dissolved. The label suggests adding sugar or honey if you like it sweeter. For a stronger ginseng taste, use less water: start with about 3 to 4 fl oz (90 to 120 mL) and adjust.

Can you drink ginseng tea iced?

Yes. The directions allow cold water. For a smooth iced cup, dissolve the granules in a splash of warm water first, then top up with cold water and ice.

Before you drink

If you are pregnant or nursing, take any medication, or are under medical care, consult your healthcare provider before use. Enjoy in moderation. Each sachet contains 1.5 g of sugar.
