We have two sticks of purple Telang flower next to our house. We plant this plant in former rice sacks. With minimal care, this plant thrives on healthy stems and leaves. The flowers are also quite large.
Telang resembles a pea plant, with small stems and growing vines.
Yesterday, I picked some of those purple flowers, because they were in full bloom. If not picked immediately, these flowers will shrivel and dry up.
Before breakfast this morning, I took a few pieces of Telang Flower to brew as tea. Even though it has been stored for one night, the flowers are still fresh.
After being doused with hot water, the purple color immediately came out. I add a little cold water to warm up quickly, and add a spoonful of honey before drinking. It tastes the same as tea in general, only it feels fresher because it's new.
