Hello! Thanks for your interest in my videos. Yes, this tea can be drunk hot, but it is better not to use boiling water with a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius for brewing, because bitterness will appear. As for green tea, it is better to take water with a temperature of 85-90 degrees. The white latex fig juice is only aggressive in freshly picked leaves. In the process of pre-drying, fermentation and dehydration, many biochemical transformations take place, and the finished tea is not only not aggressive, but also healthy.
Hello! Thanks for your interest in my channel! For making fig tea, I prefer the leaves of the local Tabali variety and local caprifiga - they have the strongest fig aroma. But I take care of my fig bushes and do not pick many leaves from the same one. Therefore, I actually use the leaves of many varieties in my garden - Brazilian, Shahmani, Byadi, Einekhi, Sbayi and so on .. All of them are good with the right technology. Sincerely, Figs in Israel
So awesome
Wow, this is different kind of tea!
Yes, these two types of tea differ both in brewing speed and in taste.
With respect,
Figs in Israel
Is there a preparation that would permit having hot tea? What happens to the latex in the fig leaves, which is an irritant to many people?

I would like to know what variety of fig you used to make your tea. Thanks.
