Ingredients Instructions Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp. heaping of our Lavender Lace loose leaf tea
  • 72 oz. boiling water
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp. culinary lavender for extra lavender flavor optional
  • fresh lavender sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

  1. Brew our Lavender Lace tea in the boiling water using our hot brew method, according to the steep time on the package. Let the tea cool completely on the counter before chilling in the refrigerator.
  2. Using a small saucepan, heat 1 cup water until boiling. Once at a boil, turn off heat and mix honey (and culinary lavender, if using) in the water until the honey is dissolved. *If using lavender flowers, let the lavender steep in the honey syrup for 5 minutes, then strain it out.
  3. Let the syrup cool completely on the counter before serving or chilling in the refrigerator.
  4. Serve the tea with fresh lavender sprigs for garnish!

Notes

Tired of watered down tea because your ice melts into your tea and dilutes it? Make the ice cubes out of the same tea you are serving! This is one of our oldest tricks to keep your tea from watering down with normal ice cubes. Brew hot tea for the ice cubes at least one night before. Let the tea cool before pouring into ice cube trays. Put your trays in the freezer until your ice cubes are frozen and ready to serve.
