Ingredients

- tea rose petals – 1 kg.
Preparation
- A tea rose bush daily "throws out" new buds; the floral abundance allows for stocking up on both jam and dried petals for future tea infusions. Drying small unopened rose buds requires a flowering plantation, while a sufficient quantity of petals can be obtained from just one bush.
- The opened buds are broken apart, and the petals are separated and sorted.
- The prepared petals are washed and laid out in a single layer on a paper towel. Once the paper is fully moistened, the petals are transferred to the trays of an electric dryer.
- In stable hot weather, the petals can be dried on a windowsill, but this approach to preparations comes at the cost of losing the floral aroma. Roses dried in closed trays of an electric dryer completely retain their natural smell.
- The tea rose petals are dried for 12 hours at a temperature of 35-40 degrees to preserve the floral aroma.
- Before transferring the petals to glass jars, you must ensure that all petals are dried to a crunch.
- In dried form, a kilogram of petals will fit into two small glass jars. After brewing, the tea rose petals unfold and regain their usual size.
