Does anyone know if you can use olive leaves straight from the tree to brew tea, or whether they have to
be dried first. Just heard that olive leaf tea is very good for skin conditions i.e cold sores, eczema and also
helps to lower blood pressure & cholesterol. Well try anything once :) :)

I just googled it and the wikipedia page came up

This is what it says

To prepare olive leaf tea, a large teaspoon (approx. 10g) dried olive leaf is placed in a tea ball or herb sack and dropped into two quarts boiling water. The heat is immediately reduced to a medium simmer and the tea let brewed in a covered pot for three to ten minutes with occasional stirring. Tea should be a medium amber color.

Have a read of the full listing on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_leaf

Thanks for that Jean, I will give it a try. Thought it wouldn't be as simple as just being able to pick them off the tree and then letting them brew in boiling water.
