<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While the mango fruit is widely appreciated and regularly consumed, the use of mango leaves remains relatively unfamiliar to many. In many Indian households, mangoes are enjoyed regularly, but the leaves are typically reserved for specific cultural purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traditionally, the use of mango leaves is most commonly seen during festive or auspicious occasions. It is a common practice for grandmothers and mothers to create torans<\/em> or garlands from fresh mango leaves to decorate the entrances of homes. Outside of this custom, the potential of mango leaves is not widely known.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scientifically referred to as Mangifera indica<\/em>, the mango tree is celebrated for its fruit, which is both flavourful and nutritionally valued. Interestingly, mango leaves have also held a place in traditional wellness practices for centuries. In systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, mango leaves have historically been included for their noted properties1<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mango leaf tea is a traditional preparation made using fresh young mango leaves. The following method outlines a general approach to preparing this herbal drink:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Select 10 to 15 fresh, bright mango leaves (young and tender leaves are preferred).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Chop the leaves into small pieces.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add those pieces to the tea infuser with some honey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pour freshly boiled water to the infuser, cover it, and allow the leaves to steep for approximately 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Remove the infuser and pour the prepared infusion into a cup or glass.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>
