From the True Treats Recipe Box: How to Make Raspberry Leaf Tea

Raspberry Leaf Tea?  

An unexpected pleasure known to cure everything from stomach aches to painful pregnancies. Tastes a lot like black or green tea, with a brownish hue. Making raspberry leaf tea is the same as most other botanical teas. Here’s what you do:

• Add one tea bag – or a teaspoon-tablespoon of raspberry leaves to taste
• Pour in boiling water
• Let steep for up to 15 minutes. The longer, the stronger.

Yes – you can refrigerate the tea and drink it later over ice. Blends perfectly with iced mint tea.
