Saved, to glorify God.
The TENDER NEW GROWTH leaves had no fragrance AT ALL when I gathered and beat the heck out of them to bruise them, then left them in a warm place in a ZipLock bag for half a day to ferment and turn almost black. As they fermented, the huckleberry fragrance developed increasingly stronger. After I dried them, it was DELIGHTFUL, but after it was dry and sat in a jar for a week it was such a heady aroma I just had to brew up a cup.

Oh my goodness, it is worth all the effort!!
It only turns the water the lightest tint of tan or brown but has the richest natural berry taste!
THIS IS MY FIRST BATCH AND I only made one 12 oz jar of dried tea,. I must make more before the new growth huckleberry leaves lose their tenderness.

Huckleberry leaf tea LOWERS BLOOD SUGAR, so there are more benefits than just as a beverage!

Thanks for the report, I didn't know about the health effects. If I can locate some huckleberries here I would like to try that.
