Has anyone tried making an oil or an infusion using (very) dried leaves? This is the only way I could get my hands on some. They seem to be great for powder but I'm wondering how to get this beautiful scent into fats and dairy.
I made fig leaf syrup at the end of the summer and loved a teaspoon on black coffee. Some great ideas to try out later in the year, especially the ice cream. Thanks!
Time to make some ice cream! On a related note, could I apply these uses for fig leaves to peach leaves? I currently have a bunch that aren’t being put to use.
I don’t live in a climate that supports fig trees. Can I order dried fig leaves? Or would they be available at a specialty market?

i just tried the recipe, the oil results quite light greenish, even milky- i wonder, should i have removed the stams maybe?

I am very annoyed it's winter here and my fig tree is bare.
Question, do you think the leaves would freeze well, I'm thinking like how you can buy frozen pandan leaves?
