This is the year I try to make as many tree, bush, and flower teas as I can.
I started with the Magnolia Tree, then I tried the Cherry Blossoms, and now I am trying the violets.
I have violets all over my yard. They are beautiful.
Violets are good internally as a blood cleanser, helps reduce inflammation, helps to lower blood pressure, and is respiratory remedy.
1/2 C violets, flowers, leaves, and stems
8 ounces 180 degrees water
Steep 8-10 minutes
Serve over ice
How beautiful is this blue color????
This tea has an earthy, floral sweetness. Again, not something I want to drink a lot of. Or if I did, I would add it to a base of green or white tea for some depth.
But they do make a great garnish!!!
I then made a matcha and added the violets as an edible flower for the garnish.
1 Peter 4:10-11, ESV
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.
