Preparation
Preparing the Herbal Blend
Rinse Flowers
Rinse the dried Gol Gavzaban flowers under cold water quickly to remove any impurities.
Combine with Chamomile
Place them along with the chamomile flowers in a teapot or heatproof jug.
Adding chamomile flowers enhances calming effects and can improve sleep quality.
Steep Flowers
Pour 4 cups of freshly boiled water over the flowers. Cover and let steep for about 10-15 minutes.
Ensure the water is not too hot to prevent cooking the delicate flowers, which can lead to bitterness.
Mixing the Lemon and Honey
Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, honey, and lemon zest.
Dissolve Honey
Stir until the honey is fully dissolved into the lemon juice.
Adjust Sweetness
Taste, and adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more honey if needed.

Steeping
Allow the tea to steep until the desired strength is achieved, typically 10-15 minutes.
Mixing
Once the tea is ready, mix the floral infusion with the lemon and honey mixture while still warm.
