Week 2 Homework - Flower Tea!
Type of content: Evergreen
Short form (around 3 mins)
Open/curiosity gap/hook:
Quick 3-5 second text overlay over my face with text saying:
What do you know about drinking flowers?
Alternate: Drinking flowers?
Voiceover:
I know you know about buying flowers (overlay clip of flowers at Trader Joe’s)
Giving flowers (overlay clip of someone being gifted flowers)
Arranging flowers (overlay clip of me engaging in floral design)
But have you ever considered drinking them? (overlay of a cup of tea).
Patricia in frame, speaking to the audience:
There’s a number of ways to “drink” your flowers (overlay of images of different drinks), but I’m gonna talk about flower tea.
(Text on screen saying “note!” boldly) Flowers can be brewed as tea - just don't try to use petals from a bouquet in a flower shop or grocery, because those are treated and not safe for consumption.
One of my favorites I discovered four years ago - I was having a shit experience at work that left my stomach in knots, then I had a dream pointing me to rose water and dried rose petals in a market. I got up and ordered both on Amazon, and they helped unknot my stomach!
After I had that dream, I googled to see if it made sense, and found that roses are known to be anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial with flavonoids and antioxidants (overlay of image citing “Beneficial medicinal effects and material applications of rose” NIH published review of rose’s benefits) - it made sense that it healed my anxious tummy!
Another popular one is chamomile (overlay image of chamomile). This is the flower tea that I’m the most familiar with; Celestial Seasonings’ Tension Tamer tea helped me graduate from law school (overlay of a picture of “Tension Tamer” tea) almost twenty years ago, and it contains a few tension-easing plants, including chamomile.
Chamomile is known to be really great for combating inflammation of all kinds (overlay of image citing “Chamomile: A herbal medicine of the past with bright future” - NIH published review of chamomile’s benefits), and I’ve used it consistently since my law school days to soothe headaches, body aches, when I’m nervous or jittery. It helps! You can find chamomile tea almost everywhere (overlay image of a box of chamomile tea).
Another flower tea I love is butterfly pea flower tea. When it’s brewed, it creates a bluish tea that turns violet when you add citrus (overlay video of this happening when you did tea for mom’s birthday). It also has beneficial properties that I’m not so familiar with, but honestly - it's just pretty, and beauty in my cup is enough!
There's more flower tea to discuss, including sorrel, which is having a moment (text saying, look out for part 2!).
Whether it’s for beauty or the benefits, I definitely recommend giving flower teas a try, and I have a list of my favorite flower teas you can find on Amazon to help you do that!
(Patricia raises cup!)
