Making tea

I found out last year that there are tree leaves in my yard that can be used in cooking for flavoring and in tea.  I was really surprised especially by the fig leaves.  They have a very distinctive coconut scent and flavor.  I am not much of a griller but I bet they would be a great addition to someone wishing to smoke a chicken or some other meat that they might wish to add a hint of coconut to.  My mother in law has asked that when ever we come to visit that we bring a branch from our mulberry tree as it is one of the trees that her African Grey bird is allowed to eat, berries, leaves, bark and all.  Anyways here is my little drying contraption.  I also added a bit of lemon grass and mint to the mix.
