Tea Made with Clover
Now Playing: Clover Tea
Topic: Recipes

Have you ever seen clover growing in your yard?

First get your parents to help you pick 3 to 6 blossoms

for each cup of tea. Then add them to 1 cup of water that has boiled.

Let steep or soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

Next take the flowers and stems out of the hot water.

Add honey or sugar and enjoy your cup of clover tea.

This makes 1 cup of hot tea. If you want more ...

multiple 3 times how many cups you want to make.

You can also refrigerate and have this green tea for later over ice.
