Description
Jasmine flowers and South Indians are itched together for sure. Any thing and every thing auspicious we need our jasmine flowers. I am a true blue South Indian in all means but not when it comes to keeping the Jasmine flowers in the the head. Not sure why, I don’t fancy it much. We South Indians have this habit of saving the jasmine flowers tied together long stripes in the refrigerator and save it for the next day or evening. This happens very often resulting with the scent of the jasmine flower being infused with all the other food in the refrigerator. This actually was the bulb moment when I though why not try making a jasmine tea. Gave it a try and it was lip smacking good. The biggest flaw of jasmine flowers over powering its fragrance into other food items was the most brilliant idea that gave birth to this jasmine tea. Me and my crazy little self .
