i will be preparing the sacred caapi vine for making tea. i have whole vine so all i really needed to know was what is the end form preferred for home brewing? chips, shredded, powder,? the tek here doesnt seem specify. just want to make sure.

i was planning on spending some time with the vine and a pocket knife and make chip like shreds. is that good or should i then grind the strips into powder?

Wrap it up in some sort of cloth/towel and then give it a bashing with a hammerSmile You want it too be like shredded like. Id imagine getting it to a powder would be a pain in the ass and would make filtering even a bigger pain.

I originally started off with the pocket knife, but it took far too much effort for the end result. Gammagore's right, use a hammer.

Chipped FOREVER with a tiny knife at the beginning. Pieces of vine hammered on the stump of a tree works very well. Very happy But hammers for sure...

Agreed the hammer is really the only way to break up the hard vine.

I am certifiably insane, as such all posts written by me should be regarded as utter nonsense or attempts to get attention.

I don't know SWIM and personally don't trust him at all. If SWIM is posting, most likely I will not respond...as I said, I don't trust the guy. YOU I trust, but never SWIM.
