Easy DIY Hot Tea Bomb Recipe
From the blogger: "Hot tea bombs are simply stunning, beautiful and a great idea for an afternoon pick me up. Imagine how cozy and warm you’ll feel when you’re greeted by your very own mug of herbal tea and beautiful flowers. And did I mention they’re super easy to make! After you melt all of the water and Isomalt together in a small sauce pan, bring the liquid to a boil. When it’s ready, add food coloring and transfer to silicon candy molds. After you let the liquid cool, the molds make them easy to pop out. I love adding edible flowers and Big Heart teas, before assembling the hot tea bombs. "
