raspberry leaves instead of tea?

[Purl]

can you fresh picked raspberry leaves? I know the tea is good for ya, so I guess the fresh leaves would be even better?

Fresh raspberry leaves are an excellent tea, but do not let them wilt, because they have a mold that can be toxic, it is best to pick the leaves fresh each morning for your tea, as my hubby does for me, or to dehydrate them and then use them dried, do not try to pick one day and then make tea the next, not good.
