Rose, Silk-Tree and Osmanthus Honey Tea

Why people make this tea

Anyone who has travelled in Europe or Australia notices how fast-paced and high-pressure city life can feel by comparison — even pedestrians hurry, and stress shows on people’s faces. There’s a reason “slow living” caught on, though slowing both life and mind isn’t easy. This “three-flower honey tea” is traditionally enjoyed to ease stress, steady the mood and support a calmer state.

Method

1. Place the rose, silk-tree blossom and osmanthus in a tea bag and put it in a pot.
2. Pour in boiling water, cover and steep about 7 minutes.
3. Stir in honey and serve.

Nourilo’s Tips

Fragrant and tasty — besides easing stress, it’s also valued to support the complexion, and it’s a kind choice for those with cold-type stomach discomfort. Pregnant women should not drink flower teas.
