The season of Spring is here and so have the flowers returned. There are so many kinds of colourful wild flowers that are tough in the morning frost. Besides the fact these flowers are so pretty and cheerful to see, they're also pleasant ingredients for making perfect teas. Homemade flower tea can be very healthy and strong. Add filtered boiled water to the flowers, and brew for half a day.
