Instructions
- 1
Prepare the jasmine-infused honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey, water, and jasmine tea leaves. Heat gently over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
~5 min - 2
Strain the honey mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding the tea leaves. Stir in the lime juice. Set aside to cool slightly.
~2 min - 3
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
~10 min - 4
Working one at a time, carefully submerge a rice paper wrapper into the hot oil. It will puff up and become crispy very quickly, about 10-15 seconds. Use tongs to remove immediately.
~1 min - 5
Place the fried rice paper onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to drain any excess oil and cool slightly.
- 6
Once slightly cooled but still warm, brush each fried rice paper generously with the jasmine-infused honey glaze. Arrange edible flower petals and optional sesame seeds on top.
~5 min - 7
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.

Tips
- Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature before frying. Too cool and the rice paper will be greasy; too hot and it will burn too quickly.
- The jasmine-infused honey can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Gently warm it before using.
