Allspice Leaves

We have allspice growing in our home garden. We love to use its leaves for tea or in cooking. After we had our daughter, I used these leaves for postpartum hairloss & it really worked. I can share my recipe below..

Whether you use the leaves for tea or cooking, they offer a warm, aromatic essence reminiscent of a blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

How to Use:

Culinary Uses: Add whole leaves to soups, stews, and rice dishes for a warm, aromatic infusion. Remove before serving, as you would with bay leaves.

Herbal Tea: Steep dried allspice leaves in hot water for a soothing, spiced infusion. Enhance with honey and a slice of citrus for added flavor.

Hairloss: (make sure you have a small spray bottle on hand) Boil a large pot of water on the stovetop. Once water is at a boil, turn off heat and add the whole bag of leaves. let steep overnight. place tea in a large mason jar & keep it in the refrigerator. Add some of the tea to your small spray bottle and spritz onto desired area throughout the day. Use each day until tea is gone.
