What Is Bilberry Tea?
Bilberry tea is an herbal drink prepared using the leaves or berries of the bilberry plant, also known as huckleberry, whortleberry, and blueberry. During the harvesting season, the herbal tea may be prepared using an extract of the fresh berries. Out of season and in other countries, bilberry tea is made by pouring 1 cup (236 milliliters) of boiling water over 1 teaspoon (4.7 grams) of dried bilberry leaves. When using dried leaves or berries to make bilberry tea, the herbs should be allowed to steep for at least five minutes prior to straining and drinking. For a stronger tea, the herbs and berries may be steeped for up to 15 minutes.
