How to make Ginkgo Tea: The Alternative Healthy Energy Drink!

[@geri8355]

After 10 years you are still the only video on youtube showing how to make a tea with ginko leaves.

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Who knew? We’ve had a ginkgo tree growing in our front yard for years. Thanks very much.

[@mindsprawl]

collect them when young, the tree re-uptakes from the leaves before they fall SILLY. I have them in my kitchen right now, I live in South Korea where they are from.

[@sashizakura9124]

Christian Bell They're also from China and Japan. Not South Korea exclusively.

[@cherylgregory8026]

It’s also proven that the good stuff is in higher amounts in the fall

[@BennyBautista]

How about the toxins Ginkgo has when it is consumed raw? Is it not suppose to get the extract from the leaves so toxins are removed? Are its toxins denaturated while its boiled above 100ºC before serve as tea?

[@matejbubnjevic951]

ive been drinking dried gingko leaves raw in smoothies and didnt notice anything.. how would you extract from the leaves in nature with no tech?

[@irgod32]

Short and to the point! Perfect, thanks!

[@kyhdc]

i tried this and my nerf deploy turned into a rayven. thanks

[@GrassRoutesCaravan]

I just collected some from the ground. Aren't they better and more potent if you collect them when they are green and dry them from there? Thanks.

[@matejbubnjevic951]

thats what i was gonna ask cause i just stripped a few bags of green leaves from branches..

[@AllisonEllis24]

! So you want the ones that haven’t fallen because apparently they grow a type of mold on the ground !

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Can you use the leaves when they are fall colored yellowish brown orange or do you pick them green and dry them when they are green?

[@libbyneves5457]

Thanks!

[@laurenelsberry3881]

Just a question... Is your name jacob? I have a step brother who sounds exactly like you

[@little1920]

Does smoking ginkgo leaves have the same effect as the tea?

[@illadelagos8770]

Can you make tea out of the fresh leaves?

[@elchachasinda]

I go to the Korean store and buy a big bag of ginko tea and it is powderr and ut mtajs a nice creamy soothing cuop of tea!

[@KeepITUpp]

do the tea works faster than the supplements ?

[@dajstafarian]

how does it taste?

[@ScalerWave]

It tastes pretty good.

[@tmmellis]

How many leaves would u use for 1 cup of tea

[@AllisonEllis24]

up to 5 leaves

[@Ur2ez4me81]

@@AllisonEllis24That sounds toxic lol

[@mechanicalbu11]

@asylumman123 they grow every where, i just seen 4 of them at Purdue University. also you could plant one in your yard.

[@christopherbennett6571]

You make it sound like ginkgo leaves are drugs! XD Still a great video! I will try it out today!

[@longevidadynutri]

Aren't you supposed to use green leaves?

[@crazey4utube]

how do you bag them>

[@IvyCottageIndustries]

Just what I was looking for and a great little movie. Thanks!

[@jrtayloriv]

asylumann123 -- You can buy them at an most herb stores. Many people also grow them in their yards as ornamentals. It's not very expensive to buy dried leaf at a store though.

[@thetaijicentre9704]

Can fresh green leaves be used before they are dried? Still same 5 leaves per cup?

[@gnorbi951]

nooo! its toxic

[@jacoblalomia8900]

Yes, you can.

[@jacoblalomia8900]

Not true.

[@asylumman123]

[@ThunderdomeDoc]

[@jackpowell1207]

[@TheColonialKickass]

high energy

[@irenan6585]

U should have made it in 7 parts.

[@hunterbeck3943]

drak why dont you make nerf videos any more.

[@tumbleweedtim]

properly dried herbs retain their color (should be green not yellow)

[@Lvl18Meep]

tumbleweedtim he said "sun dried" which if not its alive sunlight deteriorates chlorophyll

[@esilokimetrix748]

+tumbleweedtim Certain beneficial compounds in ginkgo leaves are present in highest concentrations when the leaves have turned yellow - picking the leaves when yellow is done intentionally. Similarly, different (beneficial) compounds in the leaves are at their highest concentrations when the leaves are just beginning to turn yellow. [All this from very brief googling yesterday]

[@bazza87]

I just read that the leaves contain toxins and tea shouldn't be made this way.....

[@readytogarden3770]

I believe it's the seeds that are toxic. But even they have their benefits.

[@MissSixtiesPennyLane]

Barrie Griffin it's the fruit outers not the leaves or the nuts. And they should actually be picked in autumn when they're just turning yellow.

[@Ur2ez4me81]

@@MissSixtiesPennyLaneare you sure?

[@armantakta4493]

there is toxic mater in the leave fist of all you should remove them and in front of son and the pan is not good way to dry leaves

[@little1920]

Does sl

[@24bidy]

young people should bot use ginkgo , This tea is only recommended for older people

[@evananderson5558]

When i first saw those leaves, it looked like WEEEDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!

[@khalif1991]

If you search Google, according to a study, consuming gingko tea for 6 weeks has shown no benefits for memory.
