File’

Anybody ever made their own? Wife’s grandma is going to be selling a place that has numerous sassafras trees on it. Figure I can take advantage while I have the leaves available. Worth it or not? Is a specific leaf out of the different shapes better than others? What does the process really entail?

Property will likely not be up for sale until late spring.

I would assume pick them, dry them and grind them.

Have never made my own.

Sounds time consuming.

Pick them green, dry and grind them. It is trouble but can make as good as you buy.

YouTube it... I say do it.

Well, if that is the case then its never been done by a white man.....

When I was a kid, we boiled pieces of the root. Not bad with a little honey.
