All I need to do is remember things expand in water when cooked. Good rule of thumb.
SO.... a few weeks ago I walked by a little tea shop in the West Village and remembered I love Chrysanthemum Tea and that I should buy some.
When I made it the first time. Oh goodness. I over did it. josh laughed for a long time about it. the pot was FILLED with open flowers. FILLED.
Tonight I made some and it was better. Seriously though, look at the before picture:
It looks so tiny and I just went with it (even though i thought i should add more)
but it made all this!
Just remember: dried things grow A LOT when you add water and bring it to a boil.
AND remember: Chrysanthemum Tea with a drizzle of honey is quite lovely.
I did that once with chamomile tea. I have never tried Chrys. tea. I will have to soon. You make it sound so tasty. ps. I like when you blog.
