Rose Black Milk Tea, 2013

This recipe works with any dried edible roses (calyx or petals), but you’ll get better results from sweeter smelling ones. I dried some fragrant roses from our backyard for my tea. Avoid roses sprayed with pesticides!

Recipe
6 oz water
2 tbs dried roses
1 black tea bag (Lipton or any standard English Breakfast)
2 tsp honey
Milk or creamer
