Marigold Tea

When you enjoy marigold tea, youre tasting a flower that has held religious, magical, and medicinal meaning to the ancient Aztecs as well as other peoples throughout the world. The taste is soft and warming, with a subtle bitterness you may enjoy or mitigate with a bit of sugar and oat, almond, or cows milk. Just add one cup of boiling water to a tablespoon of marigolds. Let steep for about five minutes and enjoy. For a twist, cool the tea and make a delicious beverage by adding the fruit juice of your choice or using in a cocktail for extra “yum.” Added bonus: The marigold is an ancient flower whose a delicious-tasting tea has been proclaimed by health communities through the ages for soothing stomach problems, easing menstrual cramps, alleviating skin problems, having strong anti-inflammatory properties and more.
