Jasmine, Apple Blossom, and Osmanthus Honey Tea

Why people make this tea

There is something universally calming about fragrant flowers. In Chinese food medicine, aromatic flowers — jasmine, rose, osmanthus, orange blossom — have long been used to smooth the flow of qi (vital energy), settle the nerves, and ease a heavy or restless mind. In unsettled times or on days when anxiety presses in, Nourilo recommends brewing this simple three-flower tea as a gentle, natural ritual of self-care. The scent alone does half the work.
