If you have been following this blog, you will have guessed that I am enthralled by aromatherapy. It had this uncanny ability to capture the senses, so much so you find yourself transported to into a different state of being. Since a young age I have loved the scent of flowers. Even though Jasmine has become my favorite, I have to say rose is the much love.
I have, needless to say, encapsulated the principals of aromatherapy into my cooking. However, tea is on of the best way to experience floral flavours in my opinion. I recently brought a variety of tea bags that claimed to make you feel loved. That wasn't actually the really reason why I bought them, the combained a lot of my favourite floral tastes. I always drunk camomile tea, but this tea had added flowers. I guess this was so you actually experienced an exquisite tea, however I was left disappointed. It just tasted like a normal cup of camomile tea that I would purchase at a fourth of the price. Like I said, I did read the ingredients and well, I thought I would use some of the baking ingredients to create my own tea. I had bought rose buds from my trip to Turkey, and I had purchased lavender from Waitrose. I then experiment and came up with the following recipe.
1 camomile tea bag
3 dried rose buds or a tablespoon of dried rose petals (I used waitrose own brand)
1/4 teaspoon of Barts Lavender
Put of the ingredients into your favourite mug, pour in boiling water. Wait for five minutes and enjoy
