Tisanes, as many of you know, are not really teas. They are herbal, non-caffeinated beverages, like peppermint, chamomile, ginseng, hibiscus, etc. They were and are often used medicinally but I’m guessing it was also a good way to use up excess herbs from the garden or to "harvest" a different part of a plant. With that thinking, an olive leaf tisane shouldn’t be so weird, right?
I'm thinking a salad would sound good with that tea.
Thanks for the news bite, DD!
