    Hello: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Vancouver Jade' was used by first nations to make tea and to smoke. Has anyone made tea from the leaves and, if so, how did you do it?
    Thanks. Jane

    If you are interested in local ethnobotanicals, I suggest checking out some of Nancy Turner's books.

    Thanks for the great lead. Her books are probably just what I am looking for. J
