    Hello,
    Can you boil blueberry leaves in water without losing its health benefits, orbit is better just to
    Let them sip in hot water as for any other type of tea?

    Blueberry leaves are the highest in anti-oxidants and anthocyanins in the fall and should be picked after they turn red.
    I picked some last Saturday and plan to make a tincture in an ultrasonic cleaner. It will be the first time for blueberry leaves, but I have had smashing success with other herbs and spices.
