GREAT FOR TEA – Native to tropical Africa, Senna leaf is primarily used to make tea or to enhance other teas. Simply steep ½ teaspoon of Senna leaf with 1 cup of boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Its slightly sweet yet strong and bitter undertones go great with green teas, or can be combined with honey to make a special blend.
