Peach tree leaves used to be used as firewood, but now they are regarded as treasures. Hello, everyone, this is Qingqing who loves cooking. I'm Qingqing. Peaches are the most common in my hometown. I wait for him to bear peaches every year, and I can eat them when I bear peaches. Moreover, when I was a child, I often saw my parents using peach leaves as firewood. Grandma said she didn't understand other functions of peach leaves, so she didn't use them as firewood. At that time, I often saw that the plants raised by my grandmother's family were never afraid of being harassed by aphids and cabbage worms, and the ones next door had been eaten by aphids.

I also saw grandma make peach leaves into tea, saying that it would be especially good to drink a cup after barbecue, and you can also drink a cup the next day after sleeping to relieve eye swelling. Now I think that peach leaves still have so many functions, in fact, they are all wasted in the field. I didn't understand the benefits of peach leaves before, so I cut them down and burned them as firewood. What a waste. Let's share the use of peach leaves today.

First: making pesticides.

Peach leaves contain glycosides and hydroxyl organic acids, and pests are very afraid of these organic substances, so they only need to make peach leaves into sprays. The specific method is as follows: clean the picked peach leaves and rinse them with clear water once. Then put it on a dustpan to drain the water. Leaves contain glycosides and hydroxyl groups, which can be obtained as long as we destroy the surface structure of leaves. Put the peach leaves in a large pot, add water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Glycosides and hydroxyl groups in peach leaves will decompose into water under high temperature cooking. At this time, we get a pot of green juice, put it in a watering can and spray it on the plants at home, which can prevent the harassment of aphids and cabbage caterpillars. Friends who have plants at home can try it.

Second, make tea.

Washed peach leaves are dried in the shade and have great potential for making tea. Cut the peach leaves smaller for frying. Put the peach leaves in a large pot and stir fry with a shovel! In the meantime, you don't need to put anything. Stir-fry the peach leaves with medium heat, and then turn to low heat to dry slowly. Peach leaves began to take on the shape of tea. Remember to stir fry in time to prevent it from burning. Ok, we can cook the peach leaves. Put it in a glass jar and wait for the time to make tea. Making tea with peach leaves is also very simple. Just add a handful of peach leaves to boiling water. Women are advised to drink more peach leaf tea, which tastes different from other teas.
