Green Tea?


Today we stripped a couple paw paw (papaya) leaves from one of our trees in the backyard and boiled them in a pot of water (1 cup) for a while. Then we each had a turn taking a teaspoon of the greenish-brown bitter liquid. Why? Well, because we don't take prophylactics for malaria (long term stay), we decided we'd try this potion recommended to us by veteran missionary friends from Papau New Guinea. It didn't taste too bad and we only have to drink it once a week.

anything natural that might help is worth trying.

I would have to disagree with my dear wife on the taste. It tasted like what I imagine toilet water would taste like. - Brian
