So now that we have learned some of the benefits, let’s get down to the amazing and delicious way of making the tea that lasts all year.
I love to wait until my tree is FULL of leaves and then randomly pick the leaves from different areas of the tree.
I bring them inside and wash and dry them by running them under cool water and then patting them dry.
Once they are dry, I trim the stems off and lay them on a cookie sheet to place in my oven.
Set the oven to 200º and cook them for about 10 minutes. I check on them until they are completely dried.
I let them cool and then break them up to go into jars to keep them to use throughout the year.
