Drake recommends starting from growth tips, unripe fruit, flowers, or ripe fruit. Skip mature leaves. Tips are loaded with hormones and enzymes. (Office Hours Oct 2025, 15:04)
- Collect the fast-growing tips, 2–3 inches long, before sunrise. (Student's Manual, Basic Course, p. 32)
- Do not rinse the plant. Its surface microbes do the fermenting. (Student's Manual, Basic Course, p. 32)
- Mix with brown sugar. Osmotic pressure pulls out the plant's essence. (Cho, Recipe, p. 31)
- To use, mix FPJ with water at 1:500. (Student's Manual, Basic Course, p. 37)
The library does not mention soursop, the sugar amount, or fermentation time.
