This is a great tea. It has a bit of spice to the flavor and after you taste this herbal tisane you may want to add a few ounces of china black to the mixture to make it an herbal blend tea.
Very good either way!
Potpourri Tea
1/2 cup dried rose petals
2 tablespoons dried orange blossom
1 tablespoon dried orange peel, freshly grated
1 tablespoon cassia bark, crumbled or cracked into small pieces. Use your rolling pin.
4 whole star anise
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon whole cloves, freshly pounded
If wanted 2 ounces of china black tea
Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl with your hands. Store in airtight tins. Use one heaped tablespoon per pot.
Want a variation? This is a very good and tested in my kitchen recipe.
Sweeten with clover honey or Lavender honey if you can get it!
2 cups dried orange mint or orange geranium leaves
8 teaspoons china tea
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup dried calendula petals
1 tablespoon dried orange rind
1 tablespoon dried lemon rind
Note about Cassia bark. Cassia is what is sold in most stores as cinnamon sticks. A true cinnamon bark stick would be over a foot long and too expensive to be in a regular household kitchen.
Brightest Tea Blessings!
