I just pick a few flowers, say 6 to 10 for a couple of cups of water. I let it sit either on the counter or in the fridge for 30 min. to an hour. Then drink it cold. I have never tried it heated.Hattie the Hen said:Hi rebbetzin,
Can you tell me exactly how you make your honeysuckle tea & do you only drink it cold?
Thyme & apple jelly is lovely as is the mint version but I am not overfond of the sage. Somehow it tastes rank to me. I find sage a difficult herb - it often tastes like blood to my tongue !!
Apple & rosemary is my absolute favourite -- it is lovely on toast or pancakes, it's great with toasted cheese & perfect with roast pork.......now I am very hungry.........

Probably too long, the recipe I had said to pour the boiling water over the flowers, then let them sit until the water was room temperature. Which took quite a while really.vfem said:Reb, how long did you let the honeysuckle tea to make the jelly sit?
For some reason my flavor is VERY delicate, but it leaves the after taste of honeysuckle no doubt?
I LOVE it with the flowers in it!!!
