Xing Fu: HERBAL TEA FROM FLOWERS

I did a post about red rose bud tea and am continuing with more flower teas. Usually, herbal teas are caffeine-free and low in calories. These teas from flowers are popular for their medicinal and calming qualities, and when we add the flowers in cups they look pretty when served. Below are some herbal teas from flowers and their benefits to our health.
