I'm always on the search for more healthy alternative drinks...minus the artificial sweeteners.
The great thing about this rose tea recipe is that it tastes amazing hot or cold. You can make it using black tea or green tea (pictured), depending on your taste.
This recipe uses a mixture of dry rose buds, dried apple pieces and cornflower petals to give it a fragrant aroma and mild floral taste.
I've listed out some rough instructions to get you started, but this really is a no recipe recipe! Adjust all measures to taste.
If you decide to give this recipe a go, please share your thoughts, pictures and recipe tweaks. Good luck!
Notes before we get started!
I'm a big fan of simple recipes that don't need fancy equipment. For this recipe it does help to have a a sieve to strain the stewed tea mixture before serving.
