I've watched a bunch of videos on how to make it and they range from picking and scrubbing both sides of each leave, drying them several different ways, to picking them off the tree and rinsing them a little bit then stuffing a bunch of them in a glass and pouring hot water over them, then let sit for 5-8 minutes. I went for the impatient route and went with the latter. I understand what you're saying and will pick a bunch of them and let them dry, then crumble 'em up and try it that way. I'd guess that's the best way to do it both from a nutritional and flavor stand point. This girl is pretty good, lots to know about mulberry leaves. I will use some of them for wraps too, they can be used like grape leaves like that. Pretty interesting stuff, all around the mulberry bush nothing but nutritional values and very tasty flavor (particularly the berries/fruit). Will be making some more syrup too.ardilla secreta wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 6:01 pmMulberry tea is known to be an excellent antioxidant. How are you preparing the leaves? In normal tea preparation, the leaves are slightly crushed which breaks up the cells then dried. Do you do this or just dunk fresh leaves.DMac wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 10:32 am Okay boyz, it's mulberry tea time, both hot and iced.
Was all ready to say it's not all that great but it's actually pretty good. Tastes like a mild green tea, would definitely be good with some honey in it. The iced made with the strawberry mint in it is pretty darn good, refreshing and a nice flavor. A new little something, I like it.
Edit: Added some honey to the hot tea, definitely the ticket. Tasty.
