Lime leaves in priming sugar

[TheCollector]

So I brewed a pale ale that I added .37 oz of fresh lime zest and .50 oz of fresh mint at 6 minutes left in the boil. I'm going to dry hop for a week with citra. My question is I bought some kaffir lime leaves and I'm thinking about adding a couple of them to my priming sugar solution as I boil it before bottling. Will this add more lime flavor?

I've never tried. However, usually when you boil leaves of a plant/tree, you get a tea flavor, not the flavor of the fruit. I can't imagine that this would be any different.

do a little test boil and see what it does to the water.

Or... bottle half the batch as usual and half with the leaves to see what the differences are.

I seen several folks talk of steeping lime zest in vodka 3-4 days, pouring the filtered result into bottling bucket/keg at the end.

Which is essentialy the process used to make extract.

I'll try boiling a couple leaves to test the flavor
