Yes, and the tea is known to be beneficial for helping to manage type II diabetes. For a pot of tea, tear or cut (for fresh leaves) or crumble (for dried leaves) 3-5 leaves (depending on the size of the leaves and strength desired) into a preheated teapot and pour on boiling water. Steep for 5 minutes, then strain into cups or mugs. It's strength is similar to chamomile tea and it has a subtle rosemary/anise/chamomile/citrus flavor.

Both are great places to fish and catch sturgeon. It all depends on the weather, water and temperature.

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.

How many bay leaves should I add to a stew?

It depends on your liquid content. However, one or two dried leaves should be more than enough. I'm not sure about fresh, but I would assume the same.
