    You can make tea out of nearly any plant. They are infusions rather than true tea but raspberry leaf or sprig tea is damn tasty

      Raspberry leaf, hibiscus, and rosehips. Citrus peel instead of rosehips if you prefer a more fruity blend. Cold press with a teaspoon or two of wildflower honey, add a mint leaf for freshness and you have wonderfully refreshing summertime tea. Add boba for the kids and they don’t mind the low sugar content!

        I’m not fancy enough to have all of this, but I have raspberries, mint, and honey. Time to experiment

        edit: I am getting so many good tips here, I’ll see if I can make something to post on Lemmy at a later date

          Cheese cloth works works amazingly well to wrap your leaves in, no cold press necessary!
