Blackberry Leaves

Take 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried blackberry leaves. Heat water to around 200°F (93°C), just before it starts boiling. Place the dried blackberry leaves in a tea infuser or directly into your cup or teapot. Pour the hot water over the leaves, making sure they’re fully submerged. Allow the tea to steep for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavour and benefits to be. If you used loose leaves, strain the tea into another cup. You can add honey, lemon, or other sweeteners if desired to enhance the flavour. Sip your tea and enjoy its potential benefits for digestion, inflammation, and general well-being.
