Mulberry leaf tea is a green tea, and a very healthy one to boot. The only catch is that the leaves must be washed very thoroughly before using them. Mulberry leaf tea is a healthy, powerhouse tea that contains 17 kinds of amino acids, Vitamins C, B1, and B2, folic acid, and a variety of minerals – all without any caffeine. So go ahead! Just be thorough.

Does green tea have to be brewed to be effective? Can I just soak green tea bags in cold water? Will it have the same healthy benefits?

Can I use green tea instead of black tea?

You can. The taste of the kombucha will be different, of course. Make sure to brew the tea at the right temperature so your kombucha won't end up too bitter.

Can I boil the leaves still on the stem or do I have to take the leaves off to make tea with it?

Either way is fine. Boiling with the stems will help the tea turn pink if you add lemon juice.

It may hurt your plant, depending on the dye you use. Look at the labels for organic or natural ingredients.
