Jasmine Flower Tea


Here is a picture of the delicious jasmine flower tea I enjoyed at one of our recent meetings.

Traditionally, flower-tea comes dried in a ball. However, as soon as you drop it into hot water, it opens it's petals.

Did you know that there exists a 'true' jasmine and a 'false' jasmine? To make sure you get the right one, look for oval, shiny leaves and tubular, waxy-white flowers.

...You wouldn't want to make a cup of tea with the 'false' plant as it is too poisonous for human consumption!
