USE MATURE BUT NOT TOO OLD LEAVES. AIR DRIED LEAVES ARE BETTER THAN FRESH LEAVES BECAUSE IT CONCENTRATES THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF THE LEAVES MAKING IT MORE EFFECTIVE. DON'T ALSO DO SUN OR OVEN DRY BECAUSE TOO MUCH HEAT WILL COOK THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF THE LEAVES, THUS LOSING ITS POTENCY.

Additional Information for Graviola Tea Preparation
Some sources advise on drinking the Graviola tea within 8 hours, while others practice storing some of the boiled liquid in the refrigerator and heating it before drinking. We used to keep the liquid in the refrigerator, as it is quite tiresome to boil regularly, but after reading some sources saying that the tea loses its potency after 8 hours, we decided to immediately consume within the specified time limit whatever we prepare just to be sure.
The liquid is basically tasteless. You can add sugar or sweetener, lemon, calamansi and other flavor enhancers if you wish. Or add two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and sugar for a sweet drink with a hint of sour taste.
