How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Cerasee Tea

Cerasee tea in Caribbean culture featuring traditional herbal tea boxes

Cerasee is a staple in Caribbean households—not just for its strong, bitter taste, but for its powerful cleansing properties. Whether you remember your grandma steeping a pot or you’re new to the tradition, learning how to brew Cerasee the right way makes all the difference.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 Cerasee tea bag (like JCS or Shavuot) or 1 tsp dried leaves
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • Optional: honey or lime (if you must)

Step-by-Step Brewing:

  1. Boil fresh water and pour over your Cerasee.
  2. Cover your cup or pot to trap the essential oils.
  3. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger—and more bitter—it gets.
  4. Strain if using loose leaves. Sip slowly.

Pro Tip: Drink Cerasee in the morning or before bed, but not every day. It’s powerful, so limit it to 2–3 times a week unless advised otherwise.

Why It Matters:

In Caribbean culture, Cerasee is used to “clean out the blood” and promote good digestion, especially during seasonal changes. It’s not just tea—it’s tradition.
