Sought After Treasure

"Okay, I get the history of the sasfra tree, Nina. But what about the safra juice itself?...How is it made from the roots of the tree?" I asked as I looked at the glass bottle that contained a liquid that honestly looked like puddle water and didn't look like something someone would avidly drink.

"Oh, it's actually a straightforward process, Kafka...All you have to do is crush the roots until all the moisture from inside comes out and gathers up to a certain volume. That's essentially the base of the juice." Nina explained, which made me look at her in a peculiar manner since it seemed like she was talking about some kind of concoction, rather than a refreshing drink. "After that, for additional medical benefits, you have to add the juices from the budding stems as well since they also have several vitamins that are really good for your body, and it's all done after that."

"...It's a really simple process, isn't it?"
