Ways to use our botanicals
Botanicals can be enjoyed in many different ways, depending on the plant and your personal preferences.
At Blue Temple Botanics, we encourage customers to explore each botanical thoughtfully and learn about its traditional and modern uses.
Herbal Infusions
Many of our botanicals can be steeped in hot water to create a simple herbal infusion.
A general starting point is:
1–2 teaspoons of dried botanical per 8 ounces of hot water
Steep for approximately 5–10 minutes, then strain before enjoying.
Strength and steeping time can be adjusted to personal preference.
Some botanicals may have different preparation recommendations, so always check the individual product page.
Create Botanical Blends
Different botanicals can be combined to create your own custom blends.
For example, floral botanicals can be paired with herbs such as Lemon Balm or Chamomile to create different aromas, flavors, and appearances.
Experiment with small amounts until you find a combination you enjoy.
Iced Botanical Drinks
Many herbal infusions can also be served cold.
Prepare the botanical as you normally would, allow it to cool, then pour over ice.
Butterfly Pea Flower is especially popular for colorful beverages because its naturally deep blue infusion can change toward purple or pink when an acidic ingredient such as lemon or lime is added.
Botanical Baths
Dried flowers and herbs can also be used as part of a luxurious botanical bath.
Place the botanicals directly into warm bath water or use a reusable tea bag or muslin pouch for easier cleanup.
Potpourri & Aromatic Blends
Dried botanicals can be incorporated into decorative potpourri, sachets, and aromatic blends.
Combine different flowers, herbs, and natural ingredients to create your own visual and aromatic combinations.
Crafts & Decorative Uses
Whole flowers and colorful botanicals are also popular for:
- Resin art
- Candles
- Soap making
- Floral displays
- Gift presentation
- Photography and styling
- Botanical crafts
Always make sure the botanical is appropriate for your specific project.
Culinary & Beverage Color
Certain botanicals, such as Butterfly Pea Flower, are commonly used to add natural color to beverages and culinary creations.
Butterfly Pea Flower produces a vivid blue color that can shift when the acidity of the mixture changes, making it especially popular for teas, mocktails, desserts, and creative drink presentations.
