Other alcohol related flowering tea ideas:
1. You need to steep flowering tea first to get the tea unfold. Let it cool down. Make sure the tea bloom is fully covered in water to avoid oxidization.
2. Get a talk glass. Pour in your favorite cocktail (need to be transparent), wine (prefer white wine, or Rosé) or champion. Drop 1 tea bloom from step 1. Make sure the tea bloom is fully covered in wine. The tea can add some natural earthy flavor to your drink.
