Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup green or black tea loose leaf
  • 1 cup jasmine flowers fresh, chemical-free

Instructions

  • Add 1/4 cup of the green or black tea leaves to an empty mason jar. Add the jasmine flowers and tap the jar gently on a flat surface so that they settle together. 
  • Now, cover the flowers with the rest of the tea leaves. 
  • To release the fragrance of the jasmine flowers, keep a small heavy object on top of the tea layers and close the jar. 
  • Keep the jar in a dark, dry place for a day for the flavors and fragrance to be properly infused into the tea leaves. 
  • Your jasmine scented tea leaves for ready for use. The tea leaves can stay with the dried flowers for up to 6 months if stored well.
  • You can steep the tea leaves for 3 minutes for a perfect cup of tea. To sweeten this tea, use honey or date syrup. Enjoy!
