Instructions

Prepare the ingredients needed. Since this recipe only needs two ingredients, prepare your rose petals and freshwater before the tea-making process. You can already boil the water while preparing the flowers, making the process easier and straightforward.
Separate the petals from the dried rose buds, and once you are done plucking them, gather them and crush them using a mortar and pestle. Make sure to do it very gently and do not crush the flowers too much. This process releases the aroma and rose essence from the flowers before making the tea.
Ready your glass mug and start placing all the crushed rose petals inside the glass into the infuser. Add hot water by pouring it higher so the flowers crush even more and extract more flavor.
Once the water is added, close the lid of the glass mug and let it steep for about 20 minutes. After steeping, pour the tea into a cup and serve with one mini rose inside to make it look more elegant.

Notes

Rose to pick - If you want to make a good quality rose tea, choose organic rose petals free from pesticides and chemicals. Choose vibrant petals with a strong and pleasant fragrance because these will give the best flavor to your tea.
Water - For this recipe, boil the water first and then let it cool slightly before adding the rose petals because this helps prevent the petals from becoming too bitter.
Steeping process - You can steep your tea depending on how it tastes. Like mine, since I like a strong flavor for my tea, the steeping process is 20 minutes, but if you want a milder taste, 5-7 minutes are enough, and it will still turn out delicious.
