Decoction. Shi Gao is usually cooked for 15-20 minutes before the remaining herbs are added. Shui Niu Jiao, powdered or shaved, should be substituted for Xi Jiao, as Xi Jiao is from an endangered species. If substituted, the dosage of Shui Niu Jiao should be 30-120 grams. Shui Niu Jiao is usually cooked for 20 minutes separately before it is added to the main decoction. In this case, it should be cooked with the Shi Gao.
