Homemade Raspberry Tea

Raspberry tea is usually made using the leaves of the raspberry plant rather than the berries. The leaves are said to have medicinal properties that can be extracted by steeping them in hot water. Raspberry tea is good for diarrhea and for female disorders such as morning sickness, hot flashes, and menstrual cramps.
