Using The flowers of Herbs

A savoury scone with herbs flowers as promised is Susy's aromatic scone which I baked today. It is light and soft, buttered to serve warm or room temperature.  Delicious with herbal tea, it's beautiful for morning or afternoon tea.

For Tisane, take a few sprigs of mint flowers, and clove geraniums, wash them lightly.  Boil three cups of water, add in the mixed flowers,  bring to simmer for 2 minutes.  Transfer it to a teapot.  The refreshing herbal tea is ready to serve.

Another method, get herbs Flowers that you like, place them in a cup or a glass, add in boiling water, let it steep for 3-5 minutes.  Then the tea is ready.

 Freshly Baked Aromatic Savoury Scones


It is useful. I am telling you to have your own herbs garden.  You don't need a large place, have potted herbs garden instead. You could do so much with them, and it is a money saving as well.
Enjoy baking, today is only Monday, you have plenty of time to go shopping if the pantry has not enough ingredients.   Happy Baking and Enjoy.

Until Next Post
