Alexis Nikole Nelson Instagram – The spring countdown has BEGUN in my house! In just a few short weeks the Spicebush and Cornelian Cherries will be blooming, and the days will get warmer and longer (more time to play around outside!) In what is likely the first of MANY Magnolia recipes, here is a simple fresh flower bud tea. I went down a RESEARCH RABBIT HOLE 🕳 and found that Xin Yi Hua tea is supposed to be warming, and good for tummyaches, so I though I’d give it a try! The taste was like a magnolia flower whispering an ancient secret to you, warming and subtle, with a taste better than the tea’s smell! I tried with Saucer Magnolia, but now I wanna test with some others! No magnolia flowers are toxic, but be wary of places where they could be sprayed! 💖💕
