Azuki Bean Tea - Series 5
Got puffy bags under your eyes? Then this tea is for you. Puffy, swollen
eyes indicate that the kidneys are becoming flaccid, overcome by too much
liquid, sugar, even fruit juices. Little red azuki beans help regulate the
kidney function, restoring moisture balance in the body. For best results,
take this tea 2-3 times a week for about a month. You'll see clearer,
fresher eyes and feel incredibly vitalized.

What You'll Need
1/4 cup azuki beans, rinsed well
1⁄2-inch piece kombu
1 cup spring or filtered water

Instructions
Place beans and kombu in a sauce pan with water. Bring to a boil,
uncovered, over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30
minutes. Strain out beans and drink while hot. Makes 1 serving.
Note: You may continue cooking the beans in soups or stews.
