I found some dried Kaffir Lime leaves in my Asian market. They're rare so I grabbed them! I know you can use them in curries, but are they good in tea? I tried to research online but all I found was how to use them in shampoo etc.
What would Kaffir Lime tea do for you? Anybody know?
I don't think so, unless you're craving a very lime-y tea. Even dried, they're potent as hell!
How many do you have? You should mince some leaves, mix it with jasmine tea or something, and report back.

About a cup of leaves, I guess. A small bagful.
Someone on Yahoo Answers said the infusion could have "opium like effects" but I kinda doubt that. Nothing I have found on the Internet (which granted, wasn't much) says anything about that.
What I did find on the Internet talked about using them as a hair rinse. If I really don't like the tea I guess I could do that.
