Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a nutrient herb tea from the genus Ginko, Persimmon and Pine. The nutrient extract composition is prepared from leaves of the species Ginko biloba L., Diospyros kaki L. and Pinus monophylla or Pinus cembra. A method for preparing the nutrient extract composition, comprises the steps of providing an initial mixture of 70% by weight of Ginko, 20% by weight of Persimmon and 10% by weight of Pine to form an initial mixture; soaking the initial mixture in water at about 15° C. for three hours; heating the mixture at about 100°-130° C. for about 10-15 minutes; filtrating the aqueous mixture to produce an extract to form the herb tea.
