Apple Blossom Herbal Tea
A tea made from dried Apple blossoms may be consumed as a stress reliever, digestion aid or to clear complexion. It is said to have a number of different applications in herbal remedies when steeped in water.
Apple Blossom Jelly
Apple blossom tea can also be combined with sugar and pectin and made into a jam or jelly. This jelly has a delicate taste with hints of honey, or honeysuckle and a mild, floral fragrance.
Apple Blossom as a Garnish for Salads
Apple blossoms can also be used as a garnish for salads, or to top other dishes. The blossoms have a delicate and elegant
appearance and their sweet flavour is an excellent complement for a range of fruits.
Apple Blossom to Make Perfume
Apple blossom has a fresh and floral scent that makes it an ideal component in perfumery. It is not dissimilar to lily of the valley, with which it pairs well. Apple blossom also blends well with other traditional perfume fragrances, including rose, jasmine, sandalwood and vanilla.
Apple Blossom to Decorate Your Home
Apple blossom season is short lived. You can make sure that you make the most of it by gathering some apple blossom and using it in poesies or garlands that can be used to decorate your home and bring the spring inside.
If you have an apple tree, it is worthwhile considering making use of some of the apple blossom, as well as anticipating a great fruit harvest later in the year. Whether you have a sweet dessert apple variety, a cooking apple or crab apple tree in your garden, it can offer great value, both as a yielding tree and for aesthetics throughout much of the year.
