We used to have honeysuckle vines growing everywhere. Who knew. I wonder if they make the tea from the leaves or the flowers and is it a safe thing to do at home? Just wondering.

I’m wondering the same thing. I have a ton of it on my property here in MO. Is this Honeysuckle the same as the one in the article?

I read that the red berries from honeysuckle here in MO are poisonous.

I'll dig through my books and get back to you about the leaves. The blossoms are fairly safe, but if you're going to be ingesting a lot of them make sure you bring them up to a simmer at some point. The toxin is mild, and is destroyed by heat.
