I have some fresh kaffir lime leaves that I want to use in my next brew. Does anybody have any idea how to use them?
As a test, I boiled about 5 leaves in a pint of water and drank the water when cooled to get an idea of what it would do. There is indeed a slight citrus flavor.. thats good, but there is also a bitter 'leafy' taste as well...like if you grabbed some leaves from the backyard and boiled them. I would like to get the citrus flavor out of them and leave the leafyness behind. How do I do this?
