Blue Lily Flowers
Blue lily is often confused with Nelumbo nucifera (also called Blue Lotus). Blue Lily has been cultivated and revered since Egyptian times where it symbolises the continual renewal of life.
Historically used by elders, priests and shamans.
Preparation: Soak 10g in enough wine or vodka to easily cover the herb (as it will expand). Leave this to soak for up to 2 weeks ideally, however good effects can be achieved in less time (even 1 day).
A tea can also be made by steeping 1-2 tsp per cup of boiled water, which has a pleasant relaxing effect.
Blue lily can also be smoked.
