Bush Tea's... Linden Tea

A little late this year but the lime blossoms are in full bloom and it's a good time to pick them for one of the most common Tisanes consumed in Europe - Linden Tea

 

 

pick enough flowers to see you through the winter as it's also a great remedy for cold's and flu's

Dry them for a few days

 

 

I like to brew it rather than infuse it to get a slightly stronger flavour and to make sure I get all the goodness from the blossoms

 

 

save the rest in a sealed jar and put it out of direct sunlight

 

 

after a few minutes boiling I poured a glass of the Tea, a lovely pale yellow and slightly floral mild tasting tea, it was a little too hot so I added some cold water and...

 

 

after a minute or two it turned orange!

Haven't had this happen before but it was quite a pleasant party trick!

 

It's a good tea for the winter time but it excels at relaxing you after a stressful day, also good for nervous disorders!
