Thank you! That would be awesome of you. Please use details I'm not the brightest with these kind of directions seeing how I have not done this sort of thing before.

I'll make it so that even a person in the military could do it!

SO.
A quick note on straining - the corner of a pillow case works great when working with powder
A quick note on evaporating - a fan pointed at the waters surface just to create surface tension really helps the evapping process along.
First your going to make a tea from the rue......
Just get 3.5g of it simmer it up then strain. (less is more IMO so id only cook 3.5g in about 1 1/2 cups of water).
THEN with the acrb.
get that powder throw it in 2 cups of hot water (i always simmer never boil) let it simmer for a few hours one night. Add water as needed also throw into the water some vinegar/citric acid.
Simmer it for 90 mins then after, strain the liquid and add another 2 cups of water and vinegar/citric acid and simmer that for 90 mins. Then strain that.
Now you got about 4 cups of acrb tea. And 1 1/2 cups of rue tea.
At this point id get the wet acrb powder that you cooked/strained 2x and toss it in a tupperware with another 2 cups of hot water and vinegar and let it sit overnight. Over the next couple days do a little shake here and there.
Then strain that 3rd batch of water from the tupperware into your other 4 cups of water which you should be leaving out to the open air to evaporate the water.
Evap the ACRB and RUE down to manageable amounts. I generally go for 1/2 cup of each that way its literally only a cup of liquid and your good to go.

I make an Acacia Confusa tea with egg whites to clean it up. I love the resulting teas, nice clear/translucent red/orange color, nice smell and is practically tasteless (especially when mixed with a nice herbal tea or regular sweet tea). I used to do the encapsulated powder method, but not anymore, the egg white tea thing is amazing, and i don't even add any acid to my teas as i find an acidic tea tastes and smells more.
