This is the year I try to make as many tree, bush, and flower teas as I can.
I am starting with the Magnolia Tree.
I snagged some blossoms.
This flower has been traditionally revered for its beauty and medicinal properties, often used to alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
I took 25 petals
Wash the petals with water very gently running cold clean water over them and keep them aside.
3 grams of flowers per 8-12 ounces of water
Add magnolia petals to the water and let it cool (steep).

I did about 25 petals to 8 ounces of hot water and steeped for 10 minutes.
The water turned a nice light pink color.
The tea was okay. It had earthy floral notes. I am not going to run out an plant a magnolia tree in my yard to get blossoms, but it was not bad.
It is fun to try new things.

1 Peter 4:10-11, ESV
10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
