[@musaadfelton3909]

Awesome. I love tea and I love coffee but you know we all always seek healthy alternatives. Im busy making date seed coffee. So this is an awesome alternative for tea. I saw in another video, mulberry leaves is also healthy for tea

@musaadfelton3909 thank you!. I'm not too surprised about the mulberry leaves since figs and mulberry are related. How does that tea taste? We also make tea from the flower and flower leaf of the linden tree.

@@FairmountFigs that's awesome to know. I will definitely try that with the flowers. The I like the mulberry tea. It's such a natural flavor compared to bought tea. Adding the mulberries themselves into the tea also gives very nice flavor. And mulberries are very high in anti oxidants

Greetings from malaysia. Thank you for your simple yet great video. I have a fig tree as a gift and it's growing well in my garden. But the leaves are spade like shape unlike yours. Do you know whether I could also make tea out of it like what you just did?

Hi and welcome! Fig leaves come in many shapes. I would say if the variety is a ficus carica, then yes, you can make tea from the leaves. Each variety tastes a bit different, some better than others.
