How to use them
For tea, put five or six slices in a cup, add water that has just boiled and cooled for a moment, then cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes. You can refill with hot water two or three times. For a stronger cup, use more slices or steep longer; for a lighter one, use fewer. For cooking, add slices to soup, broth, stew, or congee and simmer with the dish.

Questions about slices
The basics before you choose a size.What is in the bag?
Sliced Wisconsin-grown American ginseng root and nothing else.
How many ginseng slices do I use for a cup of tea?
Put five or six slices in a cup, add water that has just boiled and cooled for a moment, then cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes. You can refill with hot water two or three times. Use more slices or steep longer for a stronger cup, and fewer for a lighter one.
Can I cook with ginseng slices?
Yes. Add them to broth, soup, stew, or congee.
Should I buy slices, tea bags or whole root?
Slices go straight into a cup or pot. Tea bags are pre-portioned. Whole root is the slice-it-yourself option, and dried whole roots are very hard to cut.
How should I store the slices, and which size should I choose?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. The 8 oz pouch is the smaller option; the 16 oz pouch holds twice the net weight.
