Making Fig Leaf Tea

9 years ago

I had pruned a Jolly Tiger fig tree and had dried the leaves out. The tea tastes like green tea and mint to me. It's pretty good.

I like it too!

But I pick the leaves when they change color in the fall. They taste better, IMHO, than dried green leaves.

Sometimes I will mix it with regular sweet tea, that is good too!

It is also good for digestive problems!
