Rinse rose petals well, and, if desired, cut off the white bits at the bottom of each petal to eliminate bitterness (I recommend this step). Place in a coffee press with fresh spearmint spring. Add boiling water, steep for three minutes, press and serve.

One tablespoon of honey per cup is suggested to bring out the rose flavor and if definitely works (but I have always done without. You could say... honey is not my "cup of tea". sorry - couldn't resist).
