lime tree leaves as a drink

lime tree leaves.

whilst walking alongside the river Wensom in Norwich my girl friend suggested we pick the leaves of the lime which was in blossom at the time. She said they would be good as a drink made with hot water. We collected the leaves along with some blossom that had lost its flowers and here i am drinking the harvest and eating after8 mints borrowed from my daughter. Think it was about late September we collected them and started to use them after a couple of weeks. I prefer them dry but they are ok when fresh though a little strong for me. You dont need many in a mug and i just drink it with the leaves left in.
