Preparing the drink is very simple. Just pour one teaspoon of dried petals with a glass of hot water and brew covered for about ten minutes. Before drinking the tea, it is a good idea to pour it through a strainer (although this is not strictly necessary). You can also enrich the drink with various additional ingredients as you like, for example a slice of lemon or orange, honey, a few mint leaves or a cinnamon stick. It all depends on individual preferences.

The cost of 100 grams is about ten zlotys, although you can also find products at lower prices. Much depends on the location and the reputation of the store.

Physical activity is also key.
