Spring Blend Herbal Tea

Ingredients

  • 1 cup nettle leaves
  • 1/4 cup rose petals
  • 1/4 cup lavender flowers
  • 1/2 cup orange peels
  • 1 cup of water

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients in a bag or jar until combined.  They're quite pretty unmixed, too!
  • To brew the tea, boil about 1 cup water and add 1/4 cup of the mix.
  • Let this steep for 15 - 20 minutes, then strain it out.
  • Add a small amount of honey (2 - 3 tablespoons) if desired and stir.
  • Then add additional water and ice to make 2 quarts of iced tea.

Notes

This is best served iced.  You could also steep 1.5 teaspoons per cup of boiling water for hot tea.
