If you're looking for a refreshing and aromatic drink to enjoy, why not try making your own Jasmine tea at home? Jasmine tea is a type of green tea that is scented with jasmine flowers, giving it a unique and floral flavor. It's also packed with antioxidants, making it a healthy choice for any time of day.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon loose leaf green tea
- 2 cups of water
- 1-2 teaspoons of honey (optional)
- 3-4 sprigs of fresh jasmine flowers
To begin, bring two cups of water to a boil in a pot. While waiting for the water to boil, measure out one tablespoon of loose leaf green tea and place it in a strainer or infuser. Rinse the jasmine flowers in cold water and set them aside.
Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 2-3 minutes. Add honey to taste, if desired.
After the tea has steeped, remove the strainer or infuser and add the jasmine flowers to the pot. Let the tea steep with the flowers for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the desired strength is achieved. Remove the flowers and strain the tea into a teapot or individual cups. Enjoy!
This homemade Jasmine tea is a delicious and healthy alternative to store-bought tea. It's perfect for relaxing after a long day or serving to guests at a gathering. Give it a try and experience the refreshing and aromatic taste of Jasmine tea for yourself!
