...you can make tea out of raspberries?

[–] Soku@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can make tea out of nearly any plant. They are infusions rather than true tea but raspberry leaf or sprig tea is damn tasty

Raspberry leaf, hibiscus, and rosehips. Citrus peel instead of rosehips if you prefer a more fruity blend. Cold press with a teaspoon or two of wildflower honey, add a mint leaf for freshness and you have wonderfully refreshing summertime tea. Add boba for the kids and they don't mind the low sugar content!

I'm not fancy enough to have all of this, but I have raspberries, mint, and honey. Time to experiment

edit: I am getting so many good tips here, I'll see if I can make something to post on Lemmy at a later date

Cheese cloth works works amazingly well to wrap your leaves in, no cold press necessary!

Is it really worth to massacre these innocent Raspberry Pi's just to make tea out of them?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Raspberry leaves specifically. It's wonderful!

Sure. With raspberries you can use dried berries, leafs, roots. It's a pretty versatile plant.

You can also make tea out of gummi bears too https://www.thesweetsbarn.net/product/gummy-bear-tea/86

Again: put stuff in hot water and let it soak. Strain said stuff and you have what is loosely defined as tea.

I probably wouldn't do used radial tire tea, but if that's what floats your boat, knock yourself out.
