Gymnema is also available in powdered form. The recommended dosage for powdered gymnema leaves is 0.5-1 tsp (2-4 g) per day. An herbal tea can be prepared by pouring 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water over the powered leaves. The mixture is covered and steeped for 10-15 minutes. Due to the powered nature of gymnema, the tea will need to be strained before drinking. (gymnema.net)
