My family really like Rasberry Leaf Tea. We have wild rasberries in our woods. Is that something we could use to make our own.
We have never made teas.
Thanks for any help.

pick the leaves and just make sure that they are dried VERY well ...

I remember harvesting mine when the season was starting to slow down. I have a friend with 100+ bushes, so she didn't mind. I would just tell you not to cutt all the leaves off of a stem.

Emily, Does it matter when you harvest the leaves?
Thanks for the your help.

I made some red raspberry leaf tea two years ago, it went very well. I just picked the leaves from the vines that had produced berries that year.
I picked the leaves without stems, I recommend using scissors, then I placed them in my dehydrator and a few hours later I had dried tea leaves. Some of the bigger ones I cut up into strips.
Hope it helped. Good luck!

i've thought about making my own tea but have never had any experience doing it. I would also be interested in any assistance from fellow farmgirls.
Thanks!
