The leaves are pretty bland, so you can add them to soups, casseroles, spaghetti sauces, salsas and salads without affecting the taste. The tiny, tender ones can go in omelets or salads or be used as garnish. The larger ones are best chopped and cooked long and slow. For medicinal benefits brew a tea from dry chopped branches. For one cup of tea use about 2 table spoons of dry Chaya, add lemon, fresh mint and honey to enrich its flavor. For a liter of tea, use 10 medium size leaves with whatever blend you favor. I like two bags of black tea with two bags of mint and the chaya leaves, "cooked" in a glass bottle, cool it down for a couple of hours and then refrigerated. Warning: In cooking or serving, Do not use aluminum containers, as a toxic reaction can result, causing diarrhea. Use pottery or glass.
