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. |
