Supplies Needed

Instructions

  • In the small saucepan you will add your Isomalt crystals over medium heat. Do not stir, and wait for the crystals to melt. If you need shake the pan if needed.
  • Once the crystals are fully melted, you will then stir until the the mixture is clear liquid.
  • Working quickly pour around a tablespoon or two of the liquid into each half of the globe, moving the mixture around to coat the entire area. This is VERY HOT work with caution. Wear sugar gloves if needed to protect skin.
  • Make sure the whole cavaties are completely coated in the Isomelt liquid.
  • Allow the orbs to cool for 30 minutes. They have to be fully set up or it will not work.
  • Place a tea bag in one of the orbs, you will make 3 blooming tea bombs. Then add in herbs or dried flowers to 3 of the cavaties.
  • Carefully remove 3 of the empty globes, and heat a small skillet over low heat. You want to melt the edges of one of the crystals, just enough to act as the glue.
  • Place the two tea globes together, making a sphere. If you want to add edible flowers on top, carefully dip the flower into the Isomalt mixture and attach to the top with sugar gloves.
  • Repeat the steps until you have all the tea bombs ready and set.

Notes

How to Use Tea Bombs: Place one bomb into a mug, and heat up hot water. Pour hot water over the bomb, and watch it melt away. Stir and let sit to steep, then enjoy.
Use sugar gloves to reduce the risk of burning your skin. It will be EXTREMELY hot once melted.
Make as many or as few as you would like for these blooming tea bombs. You can add more than one tea bag into each tea globe.
Dried flowers are optional as well as the herbs.
Store leftover flowering tea balls in a cool dry place, no refrigeration need.
