Herbal beverages with nutraceutical benefits are becoming more widely acknowledged as healthy dietary choices among mindful consumers. There are numerous types of herbal beverages prepared from different morphological plant elements. Edible flowers, with their unique flavors, distinct aromas, vivid colors, and nutraceutical properties, have gained predominance among all the other botanical ingredients utilized in the formulation of herbal beverages. This review elaborates on applications of edible flowers used in the preparation of herbal teas, infusions, and a few other novel developments in herbal beverages. Although several commercialized herbal beverages have been developed with edible flowers, many other edible flowers with medicinal properties remain unexplored. The review further elaborates on the pharmacotherapeutic properties of these flowers, emphasizing their potential to be used in herbal beverage formulations. Additionally, ensuring the food safety aspects of innovative herbal beverages derived from edible flowers by addressing their potential toxicity and microbiological quality is vitally important. Insights presented here pave the way for incorporating edible flowers in herbal beverages, encouraging nutritious and health-promoting beverage development and consumption.
