Why is the rose so successful?
Celebrated since Antiquity by painters and poets, the rose is a flower admired for its beauty - with petals ranging from immaculate white to dark purple - and its most intoxicating scent. Its appearance would be much older, since fossils found in the American West date back more than 40 million years. Still present in the wild (there are several thousand varieties of rose bushes), it is also one of the most cultivated plants in the world. “The queen of flowers”, as she is nicknamed, is primarily marketed for aesthetic reasons, filling the stalls of florists around the world. When it is incorporated into culinary recipes or cosmetics, rose can be presented in different forms: rose syrup, rose water or natural rose extract.

In addition, the rose would have an analgesic power which would relieve sore throats and ulcers, treat pimples, reduce burns, while the presence of vitamin C would strengthen the immune system, contribute to the healing of wounds, preserve the good condition of blood vessels, and have a positive effect on our mood.
What are the benefits of rose herbal tea?
Beyond the properties of rose, herbal teas or infusions (it's the same thing) are well-being allies, because they help to strengthen our hydration. A water supply that is obviously vital, but also necessary for the evacuation of toxins. While the digestive system carries out the work of elimination (also called “drainage”), infusions are an additional way to drink water (we would not drink enough!) and thus help the body.
How to prepare homemade rose herbal tea?
It is possible to make your own rose infusion. To do this, pick a beautiful fresh rose from your garden (but be careful to avoid flowers that have been subjected to pesticides). Tear off the petals and place them in a tea filter. Count around 20 g of rose petals per liter of water. Immerse them for ten minutes in water at 100°C. Enjoy the herbal tea hot or let it cool. Other possibilities, if you don't have fresh, organic flowers nearby: buy dried rose petals or dried rose buds to infuse (it's even more visually aesthetic!).

How to flavor homemade rose herbal tea?
The taste of rose can be supplemented and rebalanced (if necessary) by other plant aromas which, in addition, will bring other benefits to the body. We advise you in particular to try the combinations of rose-chamomile, rose-hibiscus, rose-lychee, rose-lavender, rose-elderberry, rose-blackberry, rose-rooibos or rose-citrus zest. Those with a sweet tooth will not fail to add a little honey, brown sugar, maple syrup or agave to their rose infusion.
