Safflower tea is a herbal infusion made from the dried petals of the safflower plant, scientifically known as Carthamus tinctorius. This plant is native to regions including the Mediterranean, India, and parts of Asia. The tea is known for its vibrant yellow to orange color and mildly sweet, earthy flavor. Safflower tea is often praised for its potential health benefits, which include promoting cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation, and aiding in weight management. It is also sometimes used to support menstrual health and alleviate symptoms of PMS. The tea is typically prepared by steeping the dried petals in hot water for several minutes. Safflower tea can be enjoyed on its own or blended with other herbs and teas for added flavor and benefits.
