How to use mango leaves
While mango leaves can be eaten fresh, one of the most common ways to consume them is in tea.
To prepare your own mango leaf tea at home, boil 10-15 fresh mango leaves in 2/3 cups (150ml) of water.
If fresh leaves aren’t available, you can purchase mango leaf tea bags and loose leaf tea.
What’s more, mango leaf is available as a powder, extract and supplement. The powder can be diluted in water and drunk, used in skin ointments, or sprinkled in bathwater.
