Bring 4 cups of filtered water to a boil and let it cool down for a few minutes.

Add 4 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea and 1 teaspoon of dried roses or 2-3 fresh roses to a tea infuser or strainer.

Place the infuser or strainer in a teapot or pitcher.

Pour the hot water over the infuser or strainer.

Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on the type of tea.

Remove the infuser or strainer, and discard the tea leaves and roses.

Sweeten the tea with honey, sugar, or any sweetener of your choice. Stir in the sweetener until it dissolves completely.

Pour the tea over a glass filled with ice cubes and garnish it with a few fresh rose petals or a slice of lemon.
