Flowering Bee Balm





Prep Time
5 mins

Store-bought flowering teas are delicious and beautiful, but often very pricey. If you grow the plants, the blossoms are free—and you can try them fresh. Instead of bee balm, you could use lavender, jasmine, or orange blossoms.

This recipe, and others like it, can be found in the article “Dishes Featuring Edible Flowers.”
