Preparation: If using dried Gymnema sylvestre leaves, crush or grind them into a fine powder. If you already have powder, you can skip this step.
Mixing: Place the crushed leaves or powder into a clean glass jar.
Adding Solvent: Pour enough solvent, such as alcohol or water, to cover the plant material completely. This helps draw out the natural compounds.
Seal and Shake: Close the jar tightly and shake gently to mix the contents well.
Maceration: Let the jar rest in a cool, dark place for 2 to 4 weeks, shaking it gently every few days to support the process.
Straining: After the resting period, strain the liquid through a filter or cloth into a clean container, separating it from the solids.
Evaporation (Optional): If alcohol was used, you may evaporate some of it to concentrate the extract by letting it sit in an open container in a well-ventilated area.
Storage: Transfer the final extract to a dark glass bottle with an airtight lid and keep it away from light and heat for best preservation.
