Rose Petal Iced Green Tea

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. good quality loose leaf green tea

1 Tbsp. (unsprayed) dried rose petals

1 Tbsp. whole coriander seeds

4 cups filtered water, divided

Instructions

  1. Place the loose green tea, rose petals and coriander in a pitcher.
  2. Bring ½ cup of water not quite to a boil. Pour it over the tea leaves, wait ten seconds, then add the remaining 3 ½ cups water.
  3. Refrigerate until the tea is a strength you like – typically 4 – 8 hours.
  4. Strain and serve over ice.

Alternative brew: Substitute a handful of fresh mint, and four coins of bruised ginger for the rose petals and coriander.
