Re: Amount of Senna tea. My wife, Merle, chose to use tea bags instead of leaves. The local health food store carries a package containing 30 Senna tea bags, weighing 2 oz. The store manager urged caution in the amount of tea so Merle bought two packages (40 bags) and used all of one package (30 bags = 2 oz) and half of the second package (15 bags = 1 oz) for a total of 3 oz. The original recipe called for 3.5 to 4 oz. The 3 oz is working very well for me. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Lee A.
