 Chrysanthemun TeaAnother of the common flower and herb iced teas you see at Jatujak market is this one, made from, yellow Chrysanthemum flowers. Unlike Bai Bua Bok, the green herb tea I made a few days ago, this one is purely a floral flavour, no herbiness about it, and the syrup gives it the same sweetness. You can find the dried flowers needed to make this in China town in Bangkok and also there's a good selection of blended Chrysanthemum teas too. |  Nam Bai Bua BokBai Bua Bok is a green herb used to make health tea.

The herb can also be eaten raw, and is eaten with chillie paste. |  Nam Ka JeapHibiscus tea, a cold infusion served over lots of ice, but for this photograph, I've piled the dried flowers into the tea. It looked better that way. Below I've photographed fresh hibiscus, they are quite nice as candied edible flowers. |
