TIBICOS: MUSHROOM OF TIBET TREATMENT TO AVOID VARIOUS SICKNESS AND A CURE FOR MANY ILLNESS.

The tibicos originated from Tibet, in the Himalayas. Mother Theresa of Calcutta obtained some for the poor and needy. There was a condition, though, for its distribution: It mustn’t be distributed as a commercial product but as a free one.

The tibicos drink can be created by growing the tibicos mushroom. They reproduce and must be placed in containers made of glass. It is good to prepare them in the morning.

Fill a glass container (containing the TIBICOS) with 8 glasses of water and add 4 tablespoon of molasses (sang kaka) ,1 spoonful of sugar per 3 of Tibicos. Store the container in an undisturbed area for 24-48 hours.

Strain the water after 24 hours, using a PLASTIC STRAINER and not one made of metal. The water is then ready for drink. It is good to drink it before breakfast. But it can be taken many times during the day. It is not only curative but is also a refreshing drink.

Care must be taken in straining the TIBICOS. They have to be rinsed well with pure water after straining.

After rinsing them, put them again in its container. Add pure water and 4 tablespoons of molasses (sang kaka).

Cover the container with clean thin cloth to allow oxygen for the continuous growth of the TIBICOS. They grow rapidly so they need to be placed in a big container (or may be distributed in several containers, adding more water and molasses).

ALL MUST BE DONE WITH MUCH CARE AND CLEANLINESS.

Methods of preparataion (from another source)

Wash a large jar (1/2 gallon)with white distilled vinegar or alcohol. Do not use tap water or chlorinated water. Do not use soap for cleaning as soap usually contains an anti-bacterial or fungal that remains and will kill our probiotics. There is no need to rinse or clean the jars after you started brewing as rinsing may rinse out any baby tibicos.

Add Sugar. One spoonful of sugar to 3 spoonfuls of Tibicos. some recipes are 1:1 or one spoonful of sugar to one spoonful of Tibicos. most call for less sugar with a 1:3 ratio. The Cones are difficult to break apart maybe that’s why the Tibicos loves them so much as they (the tibicos) have longer time watching you play with their food). One spoonful equals about one-third ounce (10 ml) of sugar.

Add Water. Add 1/2-1 cup of fresh pure water per spoonful of tibicos.

Cover with a clean cloth, (paper towel, coffee filter) and secure with a rubber band...Tibi's require oxygen.

Leave in a quiet undisturbed spot avoid direct sunlight.
Tibicos brew is ready to strain when it is amber in color. The color is light and golden. Usually the brew is ready in 1-3 days. For those who do not tolerate the sweet, you may leave the brew another twenty-four hours before straining. There is quite frequently a jelly mass floating on top of the brew...this is discarded.

Strain using a household strainer with a fine mesh. (don't throw away the grains)

Drink it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. If you have extra store in a clean container in the fridge.
