Make A Delicate Flower Petal Mint Tea

No matter what time of year it is, I always like to enjoy a delicate flower petal tea. In the spring and summer, I often pick the flower petals fresh, mix the blend together and let it dry in paper bags. The petals stay whole and the aroma from each of the flowers flavors the blend as it dries. However, it will work almost as well with dried flower petals. And a touch of spearmint helps give the tea blend some extra flavor. Here is prepare and enjoy my flower petal tea.


Instructions


1. Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl. Stir the ingredients gently with the wooden spoon.


2. If the herbs are fresh, transfer the blend to a paper bag. Cover and seal. Let stand in a cool, dry place for about a week--or until the herbs are dried.


3. If the herbs are not fresh, transfer the blend to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.


4. To make a cup of tea, use 1.5 tsp. for each cup of water. Let the blend steep for 5 minutes.
