Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) is one of the most versatile native plants in Texas — not just for landscaping, but for brewing your very own caffeinated tea. In this video, I walk you through how to harvest yaupon leaves, roast them, and brew a fresh cup of yaupon tea right from your yard.
Along the way, we’ll cover the plant’s fascinating history — from its use in Indigenous communities to its decline in popularity due to colonial politics — and why it’s making a comeback today.
