Hot to brew

There are a couple of ways to brew this tea.

  • Place one and a half cup of water in a saucepan, add to that a couple of leaves and flowers.
  • Let it boil for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on how strong you like it.
  • Once the tea has steeped, gently pour it through a strainer into your cup and enjoy!
Alternatively
  • Place a couple of stems with their leaves and flowers in a teapot, add to that a cup and a half of boiling water.
  • Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how strong you like it.
  • Once it is done steeping, strain into a cup.

Please remember not to let it boil or steep for too long, to ensure best organoleptic results. You may prepare a larger amount and leave it in the fridge and let the whole family enjoy it cold. This is particularly nice in the summer time as it will be cooling and thirst quenching!
