Blueberry leaf tea - Vinny - 15-02-2024
I didnt realise you could use bluebery leaves in this way? I have two blueberry bushes in the garden but very rarely get a blueberry from them as the birds get most of them. I grow them as an ornamental shrub mainly for their autumn foliage. They have a sentimental value as well because I got them off my neighbour who has now unfortunately passed away.
I may try utilising some of the leaves for tea as they supposedly have health benefits?

Looks like you need to dry the leaves first.

First find the leaves on your blueberry, mine's bare. I think I'll stick to normal teabags..... unless there's a shortage

What do you drink on a carnivore diet, Vinny? I'm imagining a glass of blood.

That reminds me of a story about Christopher Lee who always played Dracula. He visited Transalvania on a fact finding mission and they served him a bowl of warm blood in a resteraunt as a joke! He had them all crossing themselves when he actually finished the bowl.
