California Farm Steeped Honeysuckle Tea

First warm dry week of spring. The honeysuckle is blooming, the whole garden smells like honey. Honeysuckle tea is a farm remedy for infections. The tea is soothing, it will boost your general feeling of well being. Plant a shrub in a big pot on the hottest side of your home, water it daily, it will become an amazing beauty, climb up the wall and grow taller than you.
We pick the flowers early morning when they are open and after they have been pollinated by the night moths, make fresh tea with fresh flowers and then dry the used flowers in the airfryer dehydrator to use again for more tea in winter.
