I remember, vaguely, that there was an Online tea shop with instructions on how to prepare the spent leaves as a salad, but I can't remember for the life of me who it was.

I'm guilty of this one too. Sometimes I even start snacking on genmai before I get around to brewing it. If it smells like food, it is food! :)

Could there be any negative effects?

Does anyone else do this?
I like to eat fuka and gyo leaves with a little soy sauce

I like to suck on the leaves for a while and then eat them, but now this thread has inspired me to try some different things with the leaves.
