I just got three 12 cuttings of San Pedro today. Something just dawned on me. How much do I need? Say I prepare one whole cutting, would I split the tea between a friend or two?
it also depends on the width of the cuttings aswell as the lenght. For example a 12 inch cutting witha diameter of three inches is only half of the amount of a 12 inch cutting with a diameter of 1.5 inches. You should really be dosing it out in weight as opposed to lenght and width. I mean you wouldn't talk about a bag of coke as being two inches long. Makes much more sense to measure things in weight, alot more accurate and leaves less room for mistakes.
I've tried fresh Pedro a number of times, with minimal results. Probably one of the best things you can do is to slice it into circles and let the pieces dried out, from there, consume. Beverage Pedro can be extremely difficult.
The tea is worse than eating it! Dry it out... research some tecs. It's almost impossible to consume a strong dose with raw eating/drinking methods.
