Viola tea are a good source of vitamins A and C, nutrients with antioxidant-like properties to strengthen the immune system, boost collagen production within the skin, and defend the cells against damage inflicted by external environmental aggressors. The flowers also contain anthocyanins, pigments that give the petals their colored appearance and have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties to lower blood pressure and protect against disease.
 
***Because this tea contains anthocyanins, when it is BLUE on its own, and if you add it to an acidic drink (such as lemonade), it turns PINK. Magic isn't it?***
 
The juice of the flowers, either used alone or combined with other ingredients into an ointment, was supposed to be effective at treating facial spots and wrinkles. Also this flower tea are fermented with water and sugar to make a very pleasant and intoxicating wine.
