Day 14 of the Inoki advent calendar. I screwed this one up! The brewing instructions say to use one flower/mug. But the flowers were so stuck together that I thought they were all one flower and ended up accidentally brewing up three! I did resteep them separately at least. Good news is that I got a solid second steep out of the flowers individually. I liked this best as an iced tea made with the second steep – that brings out the sweetness and anise notes in a way that’s refreshing, floral, and summery.
