This is a classic herbal remedy for colds and sore throat

A delicious herbal tea made of hibiscus petals!

Aromatic black tea with rose buds. Make sure you use quality black tea, like Assam or even English Breakfast will be fine, add 2 rose buds per cup to the tea pot, let it be for 3 minutes and enjoy a comforting cup of tea.

Flower Teas

Camomile tea is always a good idea!

I thought of this drink when toning my face with rose water. The same day I made myself a martini with lavender infused gin, vermouth and dash of rose water. It became my favourite flowery drink.

Summer days in a bottle but be patient! It takes at least three years to make!!

Edible flower teas are such a source of calmness and deliciousness.

This prohibition-era classic has bright, crisp flavors, perhaps originally intended to mask the harshness of inferior gin. Fast forward to present day – this cocktail still makes for smooth sipping. In fact, it’s often billed as the gin drink for the non-gin drinker. Adding lavender highlights the floral notes of the honey without compromising the spirit of this timeless cocktail.

Eastern Redbud Smoothie for the Edible Flowers Challenge

This watercolor and digital recipe is inspired by the Eastern Redbud tree right outside my window. This tree's beautiful pink blooms have a light, acidic flavor that lends a floral freshness to a classic strawberry banana smoothie.

This is a recipe for hot hibiscus tea! I chose this because the hibiscus flower is the national flower of my family's home country, Malaysia.

This tastes much better than the Dandelion wine
we tried to make years ago and is possibly better for you.
Leave plenty of flowers for the bees ,
as they are an important food source in April and May
( in our part of the world )
To everyone's good health.

Blooming tea flowers are such a delight! (Edible Flowers challenge)

For those who don't or can't imbibe, mix up one of these fizzy mocktails and decorate your glass with edible flowers for a colorful touch. Cheers!
