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.
