Instructions

Boil filtered water and gently prepare the dried rose petals. Keep everything within reach for a smooth process.
Remove petals from dried rose buds and place in a mortar. Lightly crush them to release natural oils and fragrance, keeping petals mostly whole.
Place crushed petals into a tea infuser or glass mug. Slowly pour hot water over the petals from a bit of a height to release flavor and aroma.
Cover mug and steep for 15–20 minutes. Strain, pour into a cup, and garnish with a dried rosebud or petals before serving.

Notes

Rose to pick: If you want to make a good quality rose tea, choose organic rose petals free from pesticides and chemicals. Choose vibrant petals with a strong and pleasant fragrance because these will give the best flavor to your tea.
Water: For this recipe, boil the water first and then let it cool slightly before adding the rose petals because this helps prevent the petals from becoming too bitter.
Steeping process: You can steep your tea depending on how it tastes. Like mine, since I like a strong flavor for my tea, the steeping process is 20 minutes, but if you want a milder taste, 5-7 minutes is enough, and it will still turn out delicious.
