Traditionally white chrysanthemum flowers are dried to make tea. I have several garden mums in full bloom and a hard freeze is coming. I am thinking about harvesting the flowers for tea before that. However, the red ones don't have any scent and the orange ones have mild chrysanthemum fragrance. I don't have light color flowers. So does petal color matter for chrysanthemum tea?
Does anyone here grow both garden mum and chamomile? How do they compare for tea making? Thanks.
