Ingredients
1/2cupgreen or black tealoose leaf
1cupjasmine flowersfresh, 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!

You can experiment with oolong and white tea leaves too.
