I recently found out about Osmanthus Flowers!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
It's so crazy good! It's the heady scent of apricots and peaches. sweet, summery, and floral.
There's not much I'm getting from the net about how to brew it. Mostly what I find is that it is mixed in with Oolongs or White/Green Teas. And recipes for Osmanthus Jelly.
Do you guys have any brewing suggestions? like temp or other ideas? Sure would love to know and try it out.
I had some not-so-good quality Oolong that finished with unpleasant sour notes. I was actually about to throw it out when I thought why not experiment. I tossed in some Osmanthus and BAM! The alkaline in the Osmanthus really neutralized the unbalanced tannins in the Oolong... it was soooooooooooooo good! It's an Osmanthus Miracle! LOL

I also tried mixing Osmanthus with Chrysanthemum and it went from tasting like apricot to tasting like yams!
Really hoping to hear suggestions and recommendations from y'all.
