Eucalyptus Leaf Tea

There are different varieties of the eucalyptus tree but the one used for the preparation of eucalyptus tea and eucalyptus oil is commonly called the blue gum tree or the Australian fever tree. This fast-growing tree produces long, leathery grey-greenish leaves. The leaf glands contain a volatile oil (also called an essential oil) known as eucalyptus oil.

Eucalyptus tea should be made from crushed leaves of the tree, not from the oil that is extracted from the leaves. So the warm drink is sometimes called eucalyptus leaves tea, to avoid confusion.
