Place one Tea Flower in a teapot or glass vase and pour near boiling water into the container (clear glass 18-20 ounce tea pot, vase or deep glass is recommended). Allow to steep for 2-3 minutes or desired strength. Pour out the tea and re-steep with more hot water. The tea leaves will slowly unfurl to reveal a stunning tea flower after 3-4 minutes. The Tea Flowers may be re-steeped 3-4 times (follow the above directions). After about 4-5 "pour outs" the tea ball will have lost most of its flavor, pour cold water in the container and the flower will look great for 1-2 more days.
