Tea for t- one

I usually make myself fresh tea out of my garden, and it is always delicious. My friend Courtney loves tea, so I thought i'd design her a special Home Cottage blend [my house] and send it to her at Uni.

First I gathered all the things that I thought she'd like in a tea.

• Apple Blossoms
• Mint
• Pineapple Sage
• Rose Petals
• Fennel
• Lemon Balm
• Pineapple Sage Flowers
• Dehydrated Orange [from our orange tree, we do it every year]

Then I tried each ingredient on its own in a little shot glass full of water. I wanted to make sure the ingredients worked together and didn't overpower one another, or taste icky together.

When I decided on which ingredients to use, I brewed up a cup for myself and let it steep while I cleaned up. The result was perfect - very delicate, but also sweet.

The finished product !

Now to package it up and send it away :)
