How much water per 8-ounce
How much water per 8-ounce cup of karkadeh leaves?

Actually, it does not matter much. If it is too concentrated, then you add water and sugar to taste. If it is too dilute, you consume it as it is (sugar optional too).
For one cup you use around 2 to 4 liters of water and simmer for 30 minutes on low heat.
