Wild chrysanthemum tea

I gather wild chrysanthemum flowers

in my backyard.

There's an abundance of these.

It is better to gather

before being in full bloom,

but I am late a bit.

Blanching flowers in boiling saltwater.

Salt aids color to be vivid.

For strong scent,

only wash and dry.

Dry it in the shade.

I use dehydrator for being impatient.

This tea is known to heal

a headache and dizziness.

This tea should be kept hermetically sealed.

Its taste similars to chamomile tea.

We are reaching the height of autumn.
