I brew some fig leaf tea. It taste pretty good. Very similar to Chinese herbal tea. |

I have yet to make fig tea. Is it best to use dry green leaves or use them after they turn color in Fall. I recall someone saying they use the leaves that fall off naturally. I'm not sure if would affect the taste or take away any benefits of the tea when they turn yellow. .???? |

I use fresh leaves, and let it dry. Similar to regular tea. |

Make sure to wash the leaves. Otherwise, you may drink bird dropping. |

You inspired me to pick some leaves and dry them out. I took the quick route and placed the leaves in the microwave for about 10min with power level 2. They came out crispy and I gently crumbled them up. I haven't tried it yet. |
