Take a joint of bamboo and cut away one side of the joint barrier. The bamboo is naturally waterproof so you can now use it as a bottle or storage container.

Take about five bamboo leaves and dry them. Then crumble them up and steep them in hot water for around three minutes. You should probably add sugar as this tea is not very sweet.

Bamboo charcoal is a very useful item it can be used as a water purifier, for your skin, etc. To make this take some bamboo and wrap it in tinfoil try to make it as airtight as possible. WARNING : This will smell pretty bad. Take the bamboo and burn it in the tinfoil if it is burning correctly white smoke should be coming from the foil. Burn it until the foil turns yellow. Then after the charcoal cools you can use it as you please.

You Did It!!!!
