Description

White Mulberry Leaf (Morus alba) from Health Embassy is a carefully hand-packed, naturally dried botanical sourced from trusted suppliers to ensure its purity and freshness. Known for its mild, slightly sweet flavour and soft green hue, this leaf has been used in traditional herbal practices across Asia and Europe for centuries. Whether brewed as a light infusion or blended with other herbs, White Mulberry Leaf offers a naturally GMO-free and additive-free option suitable for herbalists, home brewers, and those interested in traditional preparations.

Traditional Background and Historical Use

The White Mulberry tree, botanically known as Morus alba, is native to China and has long been cultivated for various purposes—including as the primary food source for silkworms. Over time, its leaves, fruit, and bark became valued components in traditional practices, particularly in East Asian herbal systems.

White Mulberry Leaf has a documented history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, often used in formulations designed to support overall balance. While many traditional uses are still honoured today in herbal communities, it’s important to clarify that such practices are based on cultural heritage and not all are supported by modern scientific research.

In Europe, the leaves were occasionally included in infusions, particularly in folk preparations shared across generations. With a mild, pleasant taste and versatile texture, the dried leaf became a complementary ingredient in various home herbal blends, traditionally used gently to support digestive comfort and general well-being. These uses are based on traditional practices and are not supported by modern scientific evidence.

At Health Embassy, our White Mulberry Leaf is delivered in its whole, dried form, offering flexibility for custom infusions or use in combination with other botanicals.

Suggested Preparation Methods

White Mulberry Leaf is a highly adaptable ingredient that can be used alone or paired with other herbs depending on the desired flavour and traditional purpose. Here are a few traditional methods for preparing this herb:

Herbal Infusion

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried White Mulberry Leaf to 250 ml of hot water (just below boiling, approx. 90°C)
Let steep, covered, for 5 to 15 minutes
Strain before serving. Drink warm or chilled depending on preference

This mild infusion can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for more complex herbal blends. The resulting brew has a light green colour with subtle sweet undertones.

Cold Brew Infusion

Place 1–2 teaspoons of White Mulberry Leaf into 250 ml of cold water
Let it steep in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours
Strain and serve chilled

Cold brewing enhances the leaf’s natural sweetness and reduces bitterness, producing a refreshing beverage ideal for warmer weather.

Herbal Blend Suggestions

White Mulberry Leaf has a delicate flavour and texture, making it ideal for blending with both sweet and bitter herbs. It can enhance the taste of other botanicals without overpowering them.

Popular Pairings

Lemon Balm Leaf: Adds citrusy brightness and aromatic freshness. Use 1:1 ratio and steep for 8–10 minutes
Chamomile Flower: Soft floral notes pair well with mulberry’s mild sweetness. Ideal for a calming evening brew
Hibiscus Flowers: Introduces tartness and vibrant red colour. Use 1 part hibiscus to 2 parts mulberry leaf
Peppermint Leaf: Offers a cooling, invigorating aroma and flavour contrast
Dandelion Root: For more robust brews, combine with roasted or raw dandelion root for an earthy, bittersweet note

These combinations allow users to explore different profiles, whether they prefer something energising, floral, or grounding.

Additions to Enhance Your Infusion

To customise your cup, consider the following traditional additions:

Honey (1 teaspoon): Adds smooth sweetness and rounds out herbal blends
Lemon slice or zest (¼ teaspoon): Provides brightness and elevates the overall flavour
Dried orange peel: Subtle citrusy lift that complements mulberry’s soft notes
Cinnamon stick: Warm, spicy depth, especially when used in decoctions
Stevia Powder: Offers calorie-free sweetness while preserving natural taste

These additions can enhance the drinking experience without overpowering the subtlety of the mulberry leaf.
