The Happiness Tea

The preparation method for this tea depends on what time of year you are making it. Below we will explain how to prepare it in the summer when the flowers are fresh or in the winter when the flowers are dried. You can also brew this tea with a blend of fresh and dried flowers, depending on what you have on hand in your pantry. We wrote this recipe with the ingredient amounts that we enjoy, but you can always add more of your favorite flowers when you make your pot of tea.
