Green Jasmine and Rose Tea, Iced
"This is another result of my tea experimentation's. With this one I really think that less is more and stopping while I was ahead. It's very light tasting with a bit of flower and an essence of cinnamon. If you have not used rose water before start with a 1/2 teaspoon and add more if you like."

Lovely refreshing iced tea! I love rose water, and it made a perfect match with the jasmine tea and a little cinnamon. Used some drops of acacia honey in it - so good after working in the garden! Thanks for sharing :)<br/>Made for May Garden Party in the Diabetic Forum 2013 -
Very refreshing after a day working in the garden. The rose and jasmine are a perfect compliment to each other and the cinnamon is very subtle. I used a little Splenda, but I am going to try some wildflower honey next time. Also going to try it hot next winter!
