More water is added to the blended arrow root so it is not saggy in the water but completely emerged in water. When it is completely blended it is squeezed through a sieve and discarded,The discarded trash can also be beaten into flower if you don't mind the bother, but for now we just want the powder. The water that was squeezed is then left in a bowl and left for a few hours to settle.

When it has settled the powdery starch will sink to the bottom of the bowl after you pour the water off the top. This may not look like a lot but it is concentrated and you will only need just enough for a cuppa, not to make too thick other wise it will form a jelly.

Once the water is poured off it is stirred up and place in the sun to be sun dried. You can then place it in a sealed bag or jar for storage.
