Flowering tea(blooming tea)

Sometime ago I bought flowering tea balls. It was for the first time I experienced this kind of gorgeous tea that blooms in the hot water. They are marvellous. You can call them blooming or flowering tea. Basically, it is tied green tea leaves and flowers. It is combination of green tea leaves with edible flowers such as Jasmine, rose, lily,….

When steeped in hot water, that usually takes few minutes, the flowering tea delicately opens and provide a stunning floral display.

Flowering tea taste like floral green tea and are very beautiful to watch it.After drinking the blooming tea, you can use it as natural plant in your fish tank or use it for decoration of a jar with full of water. You can keep it for few weeks.

Ingredients

Tea ball, I have used different kinds of tea balls such as: Berry, Jasmine and Marigold
Glass tea kettle
Boiling water

How to make it??

As you see in the photos, blooming tea look like tiny ball and is wrapped in aluminium foil, When you unwrap it, it looks like what you see in my hand.

Bring water to a boil. Hot water makes the tea ball expand. Drop one tea ball in the hot water and allow to steep the tea for 4-5 minutes.

When steeped in hot water the flowering tea delicately open and provide gorgeous floral display.

Hello everyone, my name is Rozina. I am Iranian with Azerbaijani roots. I was raised in Iran but I am living in Scotland. I am passionate about cooking and preparing meals for my family and friends. I tell them the story behind the meal, the pronunciation of their Iranian name and the spices that used in Persian cuisine. I am a photographer, a cooking teacher, and very interested to introduce Persian and Azerbaijani meals, desserts and beverages to people from different cultures, as I love to try food from all over the world. Iranian cuisine is a combination of rice with meat ( chicken, beef, lamb, fish, turkey), nuts, fruits, dried and fresh herbs and vegetables. Iranian food is a celebration of flavor, colour and spices such as: saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, dried rose petals, dried limes, cumin, .... I share my recipes in Farsi/English along with step by step photos of preparation. I take all my own pictures. I have learned my traditional Persian and Azerbaijani recipes from my lovely mother, and she has learned from her mother. Over the years, I have experimented and learned more recipes. Some of my recipes are a fusion Western and Middle Eastern cuisine. Some are forgotten from Persian cooking tables and I try with posting and sharing those ones, to preserve them. All my recipes and pictures are property of rozinaspersiankitchen. I would be pleased if you would mention my site if you wish to use any of them. So, if you are interested to know about Persian /Azerbaijani food taste, you can try my website. I will be glad to hear your ideas about my recipes. :) Thank you for visiting my website.
