Source & botanical notes
- Source accuracy: The original Calendula Blossoms Shopify-description archive specifies precisely 2 tsp dried Calendula, 500 ml freshly boiled water, half a thinly sliced orange, 1–2 tsp optional honey, ice and fresh orange slices. The 5–10-minute covered steep and cooling/refrigeration are preserved. No unstated yield, shelf life, cold-brew method or health claim is added.
- Fresh ingredients: Wash and inspect oranges before slicing, use clean food-safe utensils and ice, cool and refrigerate the infusion promptly and enjoy freshly prepared.
- Botanical identity: Use correctly identified culinary-grade Calendula officinalis; do not substitute ornamental garden marigolds or pesticide-treated flowers. Calendula is in the Asteraceae (daisy) family; avoid with relevant allergies.
- Individual guidance: Consult appropriate individual advice for herbal consumption during pregnancy, breastfeeding, medication use or relevant health conditions. Optional honey should not be given to infants under 12 months.
- Photo integrity: The picture shows the real 20 g Calendula Blossoms pouch, not a photographed glass of the finished iced tea.
