Great for people who are easily irritated and impatient. Zero caffeine so it's good for relaxation. It also makes a wonderful iced tea when mixed with honey, ginger and lemon.
Directions:
To brew Western style Infuse 6-8 flowers in a mug of hot water for about 1-2 minutes. Remove tisane from water to prevent stewing and save them for up to an hour to re-infuse. The temperature of water depends on the type of tisane but generally nearly boiling water is suitable for most tisanes. Can be infused up to 3 times simply by adding fresh water.
To brew Gong Fu style use 2 heaped teaspoons per 200ml of water and reduce your brewing to 15-30 seconds. The brew will become richer and release its flavour in stages for your enjoyment. You are not wasting the tisane because you can reinfuse the tea many times, just add about 10 seconds extra for each infusion.
Scent / Taste:
Fresh, citrus notes and a floral smell. Amazingly clean and refreshing flavour.
