How to make Moringa Oleifera “Zogale” tea

Hi, I love your insightful review of the Moringa plant. I was gifted a pack of the powdered leaves sometimes back but anytime I add it to my tea, it floats. What do I do?

For the powdered leaves to be Used as tea I'd advice you to get a small sieve with Not so porous holes(just like in the old days before teabags were invented).you could get it for about 100naira in the market. Some have plastic handles while others(which are more expensive)have metal handles.you could start by adding the leaves into a flask with hot water and leaving it to brew for some mins before sieving out into a cup.

Hello Dobby. I'm learning a lot from your moringa posts. Can't believe I've not tried it yet though in recent times, I've come across both the dried and fresh moringa leaves at the market. The benefits really make it a miracle tree. I'm interested in the weight loss benefits which you mentioned above. My understanding is that it aids weight loss by making one feel fuller for longer, thus suppressing cravings? Could you please include a recipe for making moringa salad sometime? Thanks!

Nice one Dobby. If I want τ̅☺ use it τ̅☺ lose weight, pls what else should I add τ̅☺ it.

Thanks Rammy! Sure we can.

Thanks anon! you really don't need to add anything else apart from the sweetener.

I can't believe Moringa is Zogale! I grew up on eating Zogale salad and had no idea of it's nutritional benefits! Thank you for this insightful post.

Thanks Mrskolos! Hope you wouldn't mind sharing the recipe here also. Would love to learn from you also.

hahaha!!! Thanks Arinola! Luv you too 🙂

Hello iphie! Moringa tea can be taken by both expectant and nursing mothers.it's a highly nutritious diet on its own.

Uummm!!! I really don't have an idea. I reside in nigeria.

In the Philippines, moringa leaves are best serve with chicken. Here's the recipe: Stir fry minced onion bulb and two sliced tomatoes. Once the spices are limp, pour your 1/2 kilo chopped chicken with four cups of water into the cooking bowl. Add salt and ginger to improve taste. Cover the whole mixture and let it boil for 25 minutes. When the chicken is already tender, pour the moringa leaves ( taken from its tiny branches and tips removed). Let it simmer on a low flame for another 10 minutes. Once the leaves are tender to bite, it is ready for feasting!

Thanks for the helpful contribution tom 🙂

Yes you can use the dry moringa leaves for tea. Apart from tea you can also Use it to cook, for salads, as supplement, even add it to Ogi sef e.t.c. I Use and also sell it too including the seeds.
Dobby dear, pls post my comment this time. I didn't include any number abeg.

Do Let us know how it goes.

Lots of people want to experience the health benefits of Moringa but they don’t have access to fresh leaves or seeds. It is good to know that the powder can also supply many of the nutrients that are found in the plant when it is fresh. Women who are pregnant should always speak to their doctor before using it. Some physicians do not think of it as a food that should be consumed too often during this stage. If a woman wants to know whether to use Malunggay during pregnancy she can get good advice from her gynecologist.

Ceylon tea is prized for its rich aroma and taste. It comes from the same tea plant as many of the most popular teas.It has stronger taste than other teas and has very similar health benefits to black tea, but is favored for their superior quality and flavor.

yes you can use the powder for weight loss, it really works.

For both dried and fresh leaves

I've read in several articles that you shouldn't take moringa if you're trying to get pregnant as it can induce miscarriages or generally just make the attempts unsuccessful. I'm anemic so id really love to try it but I worry about interactions with my daily vitamins (overdosing?) and I am trying to get pregnant as well which is proving difficult enough without something inhibiting it. Thoughts or links would be so appreciated!

Fabulous! Some awesome stuff you have public here. I have to confess your big effort. Keep posting more blog posts like this
