Recipe:

Violet Tea

• Pour boiling water into your jar of violets until it is full, making sure to gently press on the violets to release any air bubbles.
• Cover your jar and keep it out of bright sunlight for about 24 hours. - The color of the violet tea will look sapphire blue, not purple.
• Line a colander with a paper towel or coffee filter and strain the violet tea, squeezing out the flowers to get as much color out as possible. - If necessary, add enough water to your tea so that the mixture equals 2 cups.

Lemonade

• In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the water and the sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool completely.
• In a large pitcher, combine the remaining 6 cups of water, the sugar syrup, lemon juice and rosewater, if desired. Then stir in the violet tea.
• Chill completely and serve over ice.
