Ingredients

  • 1 blooming tea bundle
  • 1 clear glass pot or jar (so you can see the flower bloom!)
  • 4 cups of water (filtered)
  • 1 tsp of organic honey or sugar (if necessary)

Instructions

  • To make blooming or flowering tea, place the blooming tea bundle in the glass jar or teapot.
  • Meanwhile, boil the water in a separate stainless steel pot.
  • Pour the water into the glass jar.
  • Allow the mixture to steep for 3-5 minutes as the bundle unfurls to reveal the blooming flower.
  • Let the mixture stand for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the tea (but not the bloom) into cups.
  • Add honey or sugar as per taste and enjoy!

Notes

The bloom can be re-used for another pot of tea if desired.
