The leaves of the plant are green, grey-yellow, or brown, sometimes little blackish also. On the upper side of a leaf maybe a little darker than the underside of the leaf. The leaves are fan-shaped, long petiole and have two lobes with forked veins radiating from the petiole end. Ginkgo is native to China and Japan but widely cultivated in Indian gardens as an ornamental. India is one of the largest cultivating countries.

How to use:

Hot Infusion:

The basic method for dried herbs and flower is, take 2-3 tablespoons of dried herb in a cup or teapot. Pour hot water over it and cover it with lid for 10-30 minutes. Hot water is needed to draw out the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals. Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!

Tips:

  • You can sweeten your herbal tea with a bit of honey, natural fruit juice, stevia leaves powder and or licorice root powder.
