Pick the rose buds, preferably in early morning, choosing ones that are still wrapped fairly tightly in the bud.

Loosen them from the bud and let them dry for several days in the sun.You can also let them dry slightly on the bud, then finish drying them by plucking them from the stem.

Place 2 heaping tablespoons in a tea cup. Cover with hot water and let brew for about 4 minutes. Sip and enjoy when you want the taste of comfort.
