LEKRASET cornflower comes as loose dried flowers, so you prepare it like any traditional loose herbal tea. A common starting point is to use about 1 teaspoon of flowers per cup (roughly 200–250 ml) of hot water. Boil water and let it sit for a minute or two before pouring it over the flowers—this avoids scalding the delicate petals. Steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on how strong you like it. The longer you steep, the more color and flavor the water picks up, but the tea may also become slightly more bitter because of the plant's natural bitter substances. Strain the flowers before drinking. You can adjust the amount and steeping time to suit your taste; if you prefer a lighter cup, use less flower or steep for a shorter time. If you want a stronger cup, add a little more flower rather than steeping much longer, as over-steeping can make the tea taste flat or overly bitter. This loose format is convenient for those who enjoy a traditional brewing ritual. You can also prepare a larger batch and keep it in the fridge for a cold drink, though it is best consumed fresh. Always use a clean strainer or teapot. This tea is meant to be enjoyed as part of your daily routine and is not a substitute for a balanced diet.
