Has anyone here made tea from gardenia flowers? Ours are in bloom and smell lovely right now. I've been researching it and there are a few signs saying yes; however, they are very sparse and makes question their validity. I have seen some references to traditional Chinese medicine, which makes sense since the plants are originally from eastern Asia.
I'm not looking for any particular health benefit. I just have been looking around the property identifying plants and seeing if any unusual ones might have culinary, edible, or
medicinal qualities.
