Easy to Grow Edible Flowers
- Bee balm (Monarda didyma)
Bee balm flowers have a citrus, minty flavor. Garnish salads with them or make a tea by steeping two tablespoons of chopped fresh flowers in four cups of boiling water for five to ten minutes. Strain and serve.
- Borage (Borago officinalis)
The crisp, cucumber flavor of borage enhances salads. Use the flowers as a garnish–float them in drinks or freeze them in ice cubes. Candied borage flowers can be used to decorate cakes and desserts.
