Jasmine Tea at Home: Fragrant & Fresh!

Pour half your loose leaf green or black tea into a big glass jar. I like using green tea for a lighter flavor, but black tea works too. Cover the tea with a layer of fresh jasmine flowers. You can find these at nurseries or even grow your own for the freshest scent. Add the rest of your tea leaves on top, then gently tap the jar to even it out. Place a small weight (like a can) on top, seal the jar, and let it sit for at least 24 hours. The longer you wait, the stronger the jasmine aroma gets—up to three weeks if you want it super fragrant. When you’re ready, remove the weight and flowers, then store your tea in a cool, dark spot. To brew, boil filtered water, add a heaping teaspoon of your jasmine tea, and steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain and enjoy while it’s hot! #JasmineTea #TeaLovers #DIYTea #Food #Cooking
