Getting to harvest my own raspberry leaf and making my own tea from home grown ingredient is so FUN!! I'm so excited about diving into the world of tea making! I hope you enjoyed watching the journey and want to come long with all the other teas I will be making this year!

I've been making my own herbal teas for years and it's one of my favorite things to do. I use raspberry leaf as one of the ingredients in many of the blends I make. With raspberry leaf, be careful not to steep for much longer than 5 minutes or so, as it might become bitter. Here are 2 of my favorite mixtures using raspberry leaf (all organic):
1) licorice root, spearmint, citrus peel, a pinch of cinnamon (optional), dried red rosebuds and/or petals, lemon verbena and red raspberry leaf;
2) spearmint, lemongrass, elder berries(just a few), rosebuds and/or petals, dried linden flowers, chamomile, orange peel, and raspberry leaf.
Another of my favorite mixtures (doesn't include raspberry leaf) is chamomile, calendula and sage (all of which you could grow).
Just experiment with amounts to your taste preferences. However, I would caution to go lightly with rosebuds and/or petals as they can quickly overtake the other flavors - and you don't want it to taste like you're sipping on a bottle of perfume - lol.
Wow thanks! They all sounds so good
Great suggestions!
I think it’s adorable that she says “leafs” instead of leaves! This young lady is making some amazing content! ❤️❤️❤️
You might consider including some dehydrated raspberry fruit with the leaves, it tastes great and gives a stronger flavor.
That sounds tasty.
I've had raspberries the past 6 years and they're just barely starting to produce raspberries.
I just found your channel this week and I'm seriously binge-watching! Thank you for making these 'scary' things like making sour cream, pasta, Large meal prepping, tea making, etc so straightforward. It makes me feel like they're simpler one-day goals vs "learn to make my own dairy products" ect. And I love that you just record with your phone, it's nice to see someone more relatable.
Me to! Day three! So much usefull information as we are actually moving into that area in October and our house is coming with raised garden beds!
I tired this tea since I am growing Raspberry Bushes in my garden. I don't have a dehydrator so I set the leaves atop of my air fryer and left them there for 3 weeks. I then steeped them in a quart of water and rendered some decent tasting tea. Thanks for the tip!
I’ve been drinking raspberry leaf tea for over 20 years. But now I know that I can make it myself! Thanks
No problem! I love it!
Red Raspberry tea is amazing for female issues, like cramps, and such. . I gave this to my girls when they were younger for that reason. . :)
Raspberry leaf tea is especially good for "that time of the month "
Wow good to know!
Also great for pregnancy. Good for women in general.
@@pattyclarkson3 for pregnancy only in the end
Fantastic tip!
I may try blackberry leaf tea
Hi! I've been binge-watching your channel while crocheting and I like your content. I live in Jamaica and pretty much grow things year-round. I have soursop, and a variety of citrus trees in seedling stage that I hope to get into the ground before the year ends s when they mature those leaves will be great for tea. Currently I have pots of colon peppermint and lemongrass that I either use fresh or dried for tea. Sometimes I have them individually and sometimes I mix them. From time to time I leave them to air dry for a week or two as I don't have a dehydrator. The weather here allows for that kind of drying as well. Other teas I have in the house are cerasee, chamomile, guinea hen, dandelion root and a whole other ton of herbal teas and remedies we use a lot here.
I've used chocolate mint to make a delicious hot cup of herbal tea. I just pick the leaves of the chocolate mint plant, wash them and pop them into a cup. I then pour boiling water over the leaves and drink. I don't drain the leaves out, just leave them in there whilst I drink the tea. You can use spearmint, regular mint, etc. If you want to go to the trouble, you could dry the leaves first and store in a glass jar but I have my pots of mint on the back verandah, so it is easy to go and pick some leaves. Peppermint tea is very good, too. I also make sage tea when my sage plant is producing and it is lovely. You can sweeten all these teas with honey or sugar, but I don't use any sweetener. Thank you for your video of 'how to make raspberry leaf tea". Very much appreciated.
I love growing my own herbal teas. Chocolate mint is beautiful too and rosemary with a bit of honey is one of my favourites and has sooo many health benefits! I love making a fresh rosemary tea with honey
I love mixing lemon balm and Thai basil leaves. Delicious hot and really refreshing as iced tea.
Raspberry tea is good for pregnant women during their last weeks of pregnancy as it softens the cervix. It‘s recommended to start drinking it at the 34/35 week mark (1 cup per day) and increasing it to 2 cups per day at week 36/37 and then 3 cups per day when entering the last 2 weeks of pregnancy (38/39 weeks) up until you give birth. It‘s also recommend for breastfeeding women as it helps with milk production, but I found that lemon verbena was way better in regards to milk production and it can easily been grown. It‘s also super tasty 😋
Thank you so much for putting this knowledge out there! I will be 35 weeks this coming Thursday, and am going to pick raspberries this evening at a friends patch, hoping to grab some leaves and dehydrate to have for the winter, and now realizing i want/need them for now!😍 also looking into lemon verbena!
@@briannatuttle1028 You‘re welcome. Drinking raspberry tea is very safe when you start drinking it at 35 weeks as its effect on the cervix is very mild, but be aware that if you should get contractions before 37 weeks of pregnancy you should stop drinking this tea. Lemon verbena is indeed very good for milk production, but the ultimate power boost for milk production is fenugreek. Tabletts are available on the internet or pharmacies/drug stores, but should only be taken when milk production is too low, otherwise it can lead to overproduction and problems (cloged milk ducts, etc.). Greetings from Austria
Lemon verbina is great vor tea and for taking baths.. carefull where you put it.. it selfseeds very much if not cut and it also makes runners. I was gifted some last year and have it in a pot, just like mint.. works just fine.
A long time ago when I had my babies it was in a book that it would help with false labor or Braxton Hicks whatever you want to call it and I drank it earlier and earlier with my children and it didn't mess anything up and it made the Braxton Hicks or false labor quiet down so I could sleep that's what I use red raspberry leaf tea for it was supposed to strengthen the uterus I had my children in the 80s
Hi! Last year I decided to dry some basil leaves out of nothing... At the time I didn't even know how I was going to use them, but the fact is that I have been drinking basil tea and I love it! Sometimes I mix it with a bit of lemon peel, or green tea leaves, or any other herb, but that basil flavor is always on the back of it and I really love it!
Basil Lemon Aid is SOOO good too
I do this w mint leaves
Blueberry tea is really good too
I was just watching doing Fermented Tea Leaves. One reason is, the amount of nutrition that is kept, while drying, is doubled. Secondly it transfers from pale green mild tea, to dark tea with flavour punch.
And i saw 2 ways of Fermenting. 1 is way easier and faster Product Storage. You freeze leaves in a bag and clumped up, for about 6 hrs. Take it out and bust up while frozen. The goal is to get leaves and cells broken up. Then you leave it in bowl, place weight on it and leave out in sun or warm place, to start a fermenting. Then dehydrate.
2nd was take lots of leaves and bash with rolling pin, until half the pile remains. Massaging to break the leaf cells. Then Weeks of closed in jar, bring out, break clumps and aerate, watching for white mold growth. Aerating and fluffing stops full mild growth. After 6 weeks, the result is an earthy scent and blackish leaf tea. This is then ready to use.
I'm encouraged to try tea 🍵 leaf 🍃
I’m super excited to give this a try. I have lots of raspberry bushes so I’ll keep my eyes open for new growth in order to have the tender leaves. Thank you for doing this with all of us tagging along.
I hope it turns out well for you!
Every time my husband and I go to Port Townsend, we stop at the tea and spice shop. He loves the all the individual spices and the blends. Of course I drool over all the tea combinations. It's like visiting a different country in a hot cuppa or a pot of something cooking on the stove. We want to bring a little bit of everything home with us! The vinegar and infused oil shop next door were great also and we hope to go back soon!
Becky you have given me ideas ,now I’m going out for blackberry leaves cause that is in abundance here so I’ll try that thank you ,you are an inspiration !
I am scrolling threw your older videos. So glad I visited these. You are so full of wonderful ideas. Thanks for being so honest and thoughtful. Sorry about the whole no caffeine kick. Bummer! I am noticing the when you walk in your garden you seem calmer and more relaxed. I get the same way
I just tried picking my own raspberry, blackberry and strawberry leaves and making a cup of tea. I really enjoyed it. Tasted more like a green tea to me with the leaves being fresh. I'm going to pick more and dehydrate. My Grandmother always dried peppermint, spearmint, catnip but I never thought about trying berry leaves. Thank you and Rain County for the idea
Tea is awesome. The more the better. Yummy!
This is so amazing!
the raspberry and blackberry leaves in store baught teas usually are fermented so that they taste similar to black tea. it's a simple process, maybe you could test that with some of your leaves next time. and for fruit tea, definitely try rose hips! they are delicious to eat fresh or in jam too but you can only eat the outer layer and removing the insides manually takes a lot of work. but if you harvest for tea only, you can dehydrate them in whole and crush with a mortar
I’ll have to try that!!
I watched this video & within 2 mins I was out collecting raspberry leaves. I’m excited to try it 😋
Yay!
Me too now 😂
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do i love watching you and your family
Raspberry leaf tea is definitely a win. I was drinking the tea as we speak. 100% all natural. The taste of it is beautiful and it smells just like raspberries! So glad I started drinking this. My cramps finish me every month. Great video, girl!
Holy basil, ginger, lemon, tumeric and honey tea is a great one if you start feeling a cold coming on. I am from the south where sweet, iced tea is the number one go to but the winter is ALL about the hot tea's for me. Hibiscus is a great one also for just a floral, nothing else really needs to be added tea. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the dehydrator also. I'm excited to learn from you.
I just planted Raspberry and blueberry bushes this year. Next year I will harvest the leaves for tea. I wanted them to establish for at least 1 year before harvesting any leaves. Raspberry leaves (and chamomile) are also good for menstrual cramps!
A teaspoon of agave is good in tea and a low glycemic option.
I started making Elderberry tea last year. I add dried elderberry, hibiscus, rose hips, and echinacea root. Really good immune booster.
It would be good to put a couple of frozen raspberries in it too!
Yes!
That sounds amazing!
Seriously binge watching your videos😍😍😍
You are making me anxious for our house build to finish so that I can establish some permanent beds…(!!!)
Holy basil or also called Tulsi is a fantastic tea and great for adrenal health. Lemon balm, too!! They go great together, also😊
I love making sweet mint tea. I bought chocolate mint a few years ago and it makes the best tea flavor in my opinion. I will have to give raspberry tea a try. ❤
Chocolate mint sounds interesting! I didn’t see that at the nursery
Thank you for sharing! ❤😊
I hope you'll get the two harvests from one plant by picking squash flowers! They're edible and people stuff them and they're delicious! Always wanted to try but so many people I know absolutely LOVE them!
I've had dehydrators and I've found that it took up too much space and didn't Dehydrate as evenly or thoroughly as my oven.
What I did learn from raspberry tea is it reminded me most of black tea, which is my favorite. But like you, I'm unable to have caffeine.
Great video went right outside to collect leaves!
I love the idea of maximizing your harvest. I just made dandelion wine, jelly, and syrup for the first time.
Is it good? I have tons of dandelions on my property right now
@@AcreHomestead yes, the jelly and syrup have a very light, floral flavor. The wine obviously still needs to ferment and age, but I expect it will be similar!
@@courtneyhartman3130 I'm going to have to try it!
@@AcreHomestead If you do please record it for us!!
@@sandylee8184 I will!
Hibiscus tea is yummy.
Blueberry hibiscus
Peach. All yummy
Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing this !
I decide to quit caffeine today and got into herbal teas, I do have a raspberry plant and was wondering if I could use it for tea. Your video made thinks so much easier so I appreciate it @
Have a nice day
I love a blackberry sage tea for summer. You could do something similar. I love it iced in the summer.
Awesome! I was wondering if you could make a savory tea using thyme or rosemary or sage!
I’ll be trying this!
I mix lemon balm, thyme and lemon verbena. Tastes amazing!
Hi Becky, I believe it’s called a diffuser
I've harvested my own persimmon leaf tea, it lowers blood pressure and is delicious. I also like nettle leaf tea but so far I have to buy nettle. I like fig leaf (good for diabetes). I like red clover tea harvested myself good for menopause.
Just subscribed!
I’ve made mint tea. I just hung to dry and then crumbled into jars in a month.
Harvested raspberries leaves this summer.
Laid them out on racks in the garage.
Will crumble them today.
Have you tried nettle or dandelion tea that can be lovely and if you need sweetness a spoonful of honey or a slice of lemon can lift any tea.
I'm going to try Raspberry Tea. I have both blackberry & raspberry plants. I've foraged wild rose hips to make tea, very good. I also collected and dried some Turkey Tail Mushrooms. They are supposed to have lots of medicinal properties, but I admit I'm a little reluctant to drink tea made from something as woody as Turkey tails.
That sounds like it would be really good! Definitely a win for you! Not only great tasting but also a money saver!
You got that right! I am looking for ways to save money too!
Oh thats great to know ,I have 2 fig trees ,no figs yet here in Fla.but I can use the leaves ,never knew of fig tea. Raspberry leaf is good for women's issues
I guess it’s supposed to help with blood sugar, fig tea.. I haven’t ever had it before but I’m excited to try it. That’s what I have read about raspberry leaf tea :)
I love red raspberry leaf tea, it’s so good.. it is light and a tad bit sweet like you said.. it’s really healthy for us women! I definitely will have to try to grow my own even if it’s in a container. Thanks for sharing!
The thing that you put the loose tea in is called a tea infuser or tea ball. Yes raspberry leave tea is delicious 😁
Love your videos.
I'm going to have to try raspberry tea. I drink hibiscus tea. That ball thing is a tea infuser. Love your videos ❤️
Thanks so much! You should try it! It’s so yummy
I have been picked my raspberry leaves too dried them and make my own tea like you do but I dry mine between two sheets of kitchen paper in my microwave
I planted 3 raspberry roots only one took.. I will be cutting the leaves this morning... when you make raspberry jam add a teaspoon to your tea😋
Good for you!! It's so yummy! I'm making fig tea today
I have never tried this but totally up for it now 🌸🦋🌸
Lemon verbena is delish in tea!!
I've only grown peppermint for tea, which is my favorite herbal tea. I have chamomile seeds to plant next growing season, but now I really want to harvest some leaves from my blackberry plants in the spring & see how that goes (I don't have raspberries).
Enjoyed the video
This was a good video! More tea videos would be cool 😎😎
I have a fig one :)
I dry my spearmint leaves and the lavender flowers and I combine them for a tea sometimes. I love it! I have some chocolate mint growing now so I may have to see how that does. I've also learned that sage is actually part of the mint family and I've thought about putting a leaf in it to see how it is but I haven't yet. I'm trying to get some chamomile seeds to grow inside before planting outside. I also have lemon balm I've used as well.
Yum! Thank you
love your videos your amazing good on you for giving it a go im from Melbourne Australia qnd im starting a small garden with your inspiration
that's awesome. good luck!
♥️ raspberry leaf tea
Ty for sharing! I’ve been caffeine free for about 6 years now and I just buy herbal tea at the grocery or leaves at Teavana, so nice to see how I can make my own!! I love those tea infusers and I like to add a little raw honey to mine.
the young leaves of your figtree makes a very tasty and healthy tea too
I made a video on that :)
It’s so good!
Have just watched it. Very good!
Love this! Can I harvest the leaves on the new canes that won’t produce this year? Just came across this video and can’t believe I never thought about this!
DANG!!!!!! I wish I would have seen this video in the spring! I have OOOOOOOOODDLES of raspberry bushes!
Next year!!
Interesting video. ❤
Try Holy Basil. I LOVE it for tea. Very healthy. I also have to avoid black/green tea ... not because of the caffeine but because of the tannins in the 'real' tea. Loving your videos!!
I have an insane amount of wild blackberries that I am going to harvest the leaves for tea. I have never tried raspberry tea before. Have you ever used fresh leaves for tea? I have apple mint and make fresh leave tea with it all the time. I love it. I always dehydrate enough to get me through the winter.
I have not used fresh leaves for tea. I might have to try that. Great tip.
I move my dehydrator to unused bedroom where the heat doesn't heat up the kitchen it's wonderful
Wonderful idea!
Raspberry tea was my favorite at a kid! It’s so difficult to find now 🥲
I love black tea but have never tried raspberry leaf tea. Yum 😋. I need to get a dehydrator to help preserve food from my garden.
You will live it if you get one!
I really love drinking mint tea ( I just pour hot water over fresh mint leaves in a cup, cover it for few minutes to capture its benefit s,and drink it ) and lemongrass. But I have never did tea mixtures is should try.. thanks xxx
You are welcome :)
I made mint, chamomile and lemon balm tea last year. You can buy a box of 100 silk bags from Amazon for like 6 or more dollars!! I filled them and gave them as gifts with thrifted mugs to my coworkers! I wonder if anyone has made a savory tea with thyme and Rosemary and such??? It would be healthy!!! Anyone out there try it???
I have so much rosemary, but never thought of making a tea out of it. Now I’m going to have to give that a try! Would you mix it with something else or just straight? Wondering about dried orange or lemon peels maybe?
@@reneevation5011 yes lemon peels sounds like a good idea! I’ll check Pinterest! Because Pinterest has everything!! 😂😂🤣
So many great ideas! I’ll have to get some of those tea bags. I want to get a pineapple sage plant and dry making tea out of it.
That is funny. My daughter calls me a super smaller & herself nose blind. Lol. I am very sensitive to smells! Thanks for vid & trying to find what roaster you recommend.
Very cool idea I love tea never considered making my own. My favorite loose leaf tea is Puerto tea it’s a green fermented tea
I’m so new to this but it’s so fun!
Some other things I grow that end up in my tea include: lavender buds, fennel seeds, lemon balm, mint, anise hyssop, chamomile, and calendula. I dehydrate and store separately then mix and match depending on what I’m in the mood for. Also good with dehydrated citrus slices and Spring honey from my hives. Our Spring honey is much milder than the Fall honey and I like it better for tea.
oh you can put calendula in tea??
@@AcreHomestead Yes. I don't really notice a flavor one way or the other, but it has antioxidants, is good for the immune system, and is a good detox (good for the liver and gallbladder).
Try to steep your tea in cold water by putting it in a jug and in the sun during the day. Cold-brewing method tastes great. You can drink it during the day while you work in the garden or put it in the fridge later to have iced tea. Experiment with your own favorite mixes.😃
Great tip!
Maybe you could put some dehydrated raspberries in with the leaves to steep. 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Haven’t had chance to check your other videos just yet but what about black currant? We’re doing calendula, nasturtium, lavender to name a few clap
Fantastic video, really enjoyed it. Tracy in the UK 💚🌱
welcome to the community. I'm always workint on new tea ideas. thank you.
Hello love. First of all my daughter and I love your channel. We watch every video you make. I'm 67 and my daughter is 48. We live in Rochester NY. I'm retired and my girl is a double amputee so the regular gardening is out of the picture for us but I'm looking forward to you doing your patio planters. Any how with you raspberry tea I saw this girl doing a video on the tea so not sure if it's any help or not but here is her info. (Melissa k. Norris modern homesteading) keep your videos coming. Love you guys.
Gary and dawn
I make raspberry tea but add a few raspberries. Also I make mullein tea and sometimes add the raspberry leaves also. Enjoy!!
Love.that tea
❤
IYou can also make blueberry leaf tea.
Never thought of making blackberry leaf tea! Never a shortage of those on our homestead. And now that I am drinking more herbal teas this is great! Can you share a link to the dehydrator and electric kettle?
I’m so excited you got a dehydrator! You will love it!
If you only filled half that strainer then it must have been a really weak tea. That strainer is supposed to be FULL of tea mix for a single mug. Also with raspberry leaf you want to add some sweetener (I like honey) just a bit. It makes the raspberry flavour sing.
great tip. thank you
I'm so going to try this next year. I have some, I guess you'd call them volunteers, raspberry plants, run aways from my neighbor. Could you add dried or freezedried raspberries to it, maybe? I was also thinking black currants, those leaves really smell like the berries.
I so enjoy your videos, really inspiring.
I just got the idea after watching this to plant an herbal tea bed!! I love drinking tea before bed to relax and it would be so fun to make my own blends!
I’ve made my own chamomile. Only problem was my dogs would eat the flowers before I could harvest
How about an oven with fan dehydration? Did some tried it? Tips, please :)
Super cute video! I def want to try and grow something and try this out!
You should! It’s so yummy! Thanks :) p
You can also make tea out of strawberry leaves
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
