Instructions
Homegrown Flower Tea Mix
- To mix up the classic "honey tea cow juice" of my husband's childhood, mix together, by weight or by cup measurement into a large bowl the calendula, marigold, and mint.
- To add your own twist, consider adding other flowers such as rose petals, nettles, red clover, and chamomile.
- After its been mixed scoop them into a jar, label and store in the cupboard
Brewing Homegrown Flower Tea
- To make a cup of tea, steep 1 rounded tablespoon of tea mix in a cup of boiling water.
- Add honey and milk if you want the true "honey tea cow juice" experience!
- To make a pot (I have a large 1.5+ quart teapot) I use a good ⅓-1/2 cup of tea mix.
