Orange Blossom Tea

Orange Blossom

Ingredients

  • 2 cups freshly opened orange blossoms
  • 1/2 tsp orange blossom honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the orange blossoms gently, then carefully pat them dry. Pluck the petals from the flowers and place them on a wire rack in a warm room with low humidity in order to avoid rotting, or outdoors in the heat out of the wing but not in direct sunlight. Depending on the air's heat and moisture content, drying may be complete within 24-48 hours. Place 1/2 teaspoon of dried petals in a teacup, steep for 5 minutes, stir in the honey, if using, and enjoy before bed for a good night's sleep.
