Oak leaves

How do I measure oak leaves as pints? ... I have a recipe that I want to use and it calls for 10 pints of oak leaves

I do it with the leaves loose packed in a measuring jug.

ditto......or in a bucket that has measurements up the inside for larger quantities.

I didnot think it would be that simple, thought there wpuld be a complicated sum to work it out ...

Thanks

The question has to be what are you making with the leaves? It sounds interesting!

Errhem, haemorrhoids???

Bruised oak leaves applied externally to wounds and haemorrhoids will help reduce inflammation - must have a lot if you need 10 pints : oops:

There's a wine makers in Scotland, I think they're Cairn O'Morn (or something like that) and they produce Spring Oak Leaf Wine and Autumn Oak Leaf Wine. Spring is lighter in colour and flavour, and Autumn is darker. Both are lovely but remarkably differnt.
