The Sacred Lotus Flower

The next ingredient I have chosen is the Sacred Lotus flower. This flower has been known by the Chinese for thousands of years to produce a sense of euphoria, making it a very important ingredient in our blend. The plant is important in the religions of both Buddhists and Hindus. We will use the dried petals from the flower of the plant, which is the most potent part of the plant. The scientific name of Sacred Lotus is nelumbo nucifera. There is a good article about it here. This plant is more expensive than the other ingredients in our blend, but is still priced reasonably in quantity. This is the last ingredient I have chosen for our blend. Stay tuned for the next post, when we order the ingredients.
