Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a pot and turn heat to low.
Add the bark or root parts of the tea first, and let simmer on low 20 minutes.
Then add the leafy parts (more fine), stir them in, and place lid back on.
Turn the heat off and let the tea mixture steep (sit in the hot water) for
    another 20 minutes.

It may be heated up again if you like it hot.
