Creating your own special blend of tea is an exciting and satisfying way to produce a customised tea of your own taste. Our range of blending components allows you to blend your own tea. Calendula petals are neutral flavoured and can be used to decorate any tea blend. Also great in salads
Dried Calenduala Petals are lovely for adding to home made cosmetics, soap, bath salts and potpourri.
Here is a basic recipe to make your own infused Calendula oil:
Fill a jar with Calendula petals
- cover them with your chosen vegetable oil, Organic Sunflower oil is a popular choice
- Seal the jar tightly and leave it in the sun (a sunny window sill will be fine) for 2-3 weeks.
- Strain the petals out and bottle the oil.
