Hi Anthea!
I am interested in using ackee leaves as party favors for people, to make as tea.
How many leaves would you suggest to make one cup of tea?
Can freshly picked ackee leaves work to make tea?
How can the leaves be preserved, after picking?
Should they be dehydrated before, if traveling long distances and over a long period?
Also, same questions I’d like answered regarding Lignum Vitae leaves.
Thanks!
