The Raspberry Tea Leaf

Intro

Raspberry tea is very popular, especially here in the states and more so during the warmer seasons of the year. Nothing like a tall glass of cool, refreshing raspberry tea when lounging by the pool or a piping hot cup to relax with by the fire during winter.

Whether hot or cold this tea leaf holds many benefits besides tasting good.

The Raspberry Leaf is known by several names such as: Rubus idaeus, Red Raspberry, Raspberry, and Wild Raspberry.

This is a very pleasant tasting tea that carries herbal remedies along with it. It tastes very similar to black tea but has no caffeine content. The dried leaves are gathered in the springtime just before the plant flowers have the highest antioxidant benefits.

How To Prepare

Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of raspberry tea leaves and add to your teapot. Allow leaves to steep for approximately 8-10 minuets based on how strong you care for your tea. Sweeten to your liking and enjoy!
