walnut leaf beer

Has anybody tried or even heard of this?

There are many recipes online for walnut leaf wine http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques85.asp

There is even a place that sells the leaves for that purpose http://walnuts.us/id4.html

and here are some guidelines for judging spiced beer that include walnut leaves on the list of availible spices for beer http://www.quaff.org/SpeakerNotes/Spiced_Beers-Chuck_West.pdf

However, when I search for a recipe i can find nothing anywhere online. I assume walnut leaves have some kind of specific flavor and I don't even know what that is. I only ask because I have a huge walnut tree outside my house and wouldn't mind trying this in the summer, but I have no idea what to do.

Any ideas or help of any kind, even just in regard to the taste of walnut leaves, would be awesome!

Thanks!

So no ideas on this?

Maybe try dehydrating some leaves from your tree and see what flavor and aroma you get From a tea
