A delicious drink is brewed from raspberry leaves. It can be drunk by itself, or you can add a little to ordinary black tea. For the best taste, my grandmother does not just dry these leaves, but pre-cooks them in the oven.

I dry young raspberry leaves every year and add when brewing tea. They give it a peculiar aroma and taste. Quite recently I read an art book about the taiga and the inhabitants of the taiga village. So they dried raspberry roots, not leaves, and brewed aromatic and delicious tea. Who has tried raspberry root tea? Share your impressions.
