Rosewater, orange flowers and mint. I made sure to memorize it when I saw the film the second time, having missed it on the first viewing!

ah...that makes more sense that in the book Isabelle learns it off another woman. In the movie is comes off WEIRD because they've obviously just finished having sex and it's like he's recommending her this tea...i.e...he wasn't too impressed with her taste. Then when he says " a teapot full" I was like oh wow...she must taste REALLY bad. It just came off wrong in the film IMO.

I hadn't thought of that, but yeah, it's a really inappropriate time to bring it up. (But is there an appropriate time for a man to bring that up?) I am surprised that she was not offended.

Her?

I was under the impression that it has things in it like rose hips, hibiscus, passion flower, things like that. Sorry Dawg, no tequila. I believe Mr. Frenchie says something about it but I couldn't quite catch it in the movie. French women know all sorts of secrets. I am fascinated to know.
I know it must be true because if I drink too much coffee or eat asparagus my pee smells like it.

so looks like nobody is interested in learning about the 'tea'. I would still love to know what it was, if anyone knows please post.
thought it contained raspberry, lemon and some other ingredients

I believe he says the ingredients is orange, mint and rosewater... not sure of the measurements, etc though... and he tells her that it's recommended to drink a teapot full...

The novel says "...a little tisane of orange and rosewater OR mint, it perfumes your own juices." The sisters learn this from a woman - not Edgar. And yeah, you have to drink a full teapot.
It's probably on the dollar menu at Parisian McDonalds.

the tea doesn't exist I don't think, I've searched online for that kind of tea combination and went looking for it in a massive herbal tea store but to no avail.

The tea is a real & recommended tea; mainly for females. For males, the "super spunk" juice is recommended which mainly contains pineapple.

To make the tea yourselves: peel a ripe orange, boil the rind with about 4/5 mint leaves or a mint teabag. Add one rose hip or a rose tea bag and drink up!

Just one cup a week will make a difference; many drink a mug a day. You can have as much as you desire. In the movie, he says a whole teapot, I believe this was just a comment for comic relief. A whole teapot is definitely not necessary.

I thought it was a bit of an insult...basically he's telling her she doesn't taste very good.

Boy, that one really went over all of your heads, didn't it? The tea isn't drunk, it's a topical. That's why it takes an entire teapot.
