We prepare tea from acacia, like other herbs. First of all, we have to get flowers, if we don’t have such a tree on the garden or nearby, it’s worth going for a walk. It’s best to collect them on a sunny day – when they are well developed. Then they should be dried, just put them on cardboard and placed in a dry and airy place for a few days. After removing, he can collect them into a jar and close it tightly. We prepare a cup of tea from:
- a heaped spoon of dried acacia flowers
- hot water
- teaspoon of honey
After boiling water, wait a few minutes to cool down a bit – the herbs are best poured with water at a temperature of about 90 degrees C. Pour flowers into the cup and pour hot water, brew for a quarter of an hour. After this time, it is worth straining the brew and add a teaspoon of honey so that the tea is sweeter.
