【觀賞加品嚐 】自己花茶自己種?????
近年不少花店都有香料和可食用的花草盆栽售賣，大可買幾盆回家栽種，又或是從種子開始種起，美化家居之餘，亦因自己種的可確保不添加農藥，能夠用來簡單自製清香花草茶！
自製花草茶小貼士：
－適合在家中種植的香草和花卉：香茅／薄荷／迷迭香／甜菊／洋甘菊／茉莉／玫瑰／紫蘇
－茉莉、玫瑰、洋甘菊等花卉可以在摘下來後以水浸泡5-10分鐘，再以清水沖洗瀝乾，再把花瓣放到烘乾機使其乾燥即成。
－甜菊本身帶甜味，可用以代替糖分
－不建議將買回來的單枝花卉烘成乾花飲用，因為不確定農藥的成分多少
－添加少許新鮮香茅、薄荷葉及迷迭香可為花茶增添香氣
－香草類無不需太多水分，排水和通風要多加注意
Home-grown floral tea
In recent years a lot of florists have started selling herbs and edible plants. Try buying some home to plant or even start with seeds. It’s a great addition to your home decoration and you can ensure your flowers don’t have pesticides when you make your floral tea!
Small tips for home grown floral tea:
– flowers and herbs suitable for home: lemongrass, mint, rosemary, stevia, chamomile, jasmine, rose, basil
– for jasmine, rose and chamomile, you can soak it for 5-10 and rinse with water. Then dry the petals in an oven.
– stevia is sweet and can be used to replace sugar
– we don’t recommend buying one flower to use as you don’t know how much pesticide is on it
– add in small amounts of lemongrass, mint or rosemary can increase the aroma of your tea
– herbs don’t need a lot of water, so pay attention to your water and air circulation when planting
