Steps

Rinse flowers with cold water in a large bowl. Swish them around to get dirt off, then strain.
Remove the green bulb part at the bottom of any of the flowers if it is still there. Do not pull out the stamen.
In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once the water is at a full boil, turn off the heat and add the flowers into the water.
Stir the flowers gently and then place a lid on your pot and allow the flowers to steep for at least ONE hour, but I highly recommend a few more for a stronger flavor.
Strain the honeysuckle flowers and debris out of the water to remove all of the flower petals and allow to cool.
To Serve
- Fill a large glass with ice and pour the honeysuckle tea over the ice. Sweeten with your favorite sweetener. (Simple Syrup, Honey, or Honeysuckle Simple Syrup.) Adjust taste by adding water if it is too strong. Enjoy!
