Basic Lavender Tea Recipe

​

A lavender tea recipe is actually a lavender herbal tea. The use of the word tea is a loose association to what we more commonly think of as tea: the black leaf variety. A basic lavender tea recipe won’t have tea in it, but that said, there are lavender black teas available which are either infused with lavender essential oils or combined with lavender leaves.

​

To make lavender tea, you can either use a saucepan or a teapot. Add four cups of water and two tablespoons of lavender flowers. Once you’ve had it a few times, you’ll figure out the desired strength and adjust accordingly. Let the water boil and then allow the tea to steep for at least 15 minutes. Strain and then serve. You can also chill this to make a lavender iced tea.
