Balancing Lavender and Lemon

Dried culinary lavender buds steep off the heat for five minutes before you strain the liquid into a pitcher. A fine-mesh sieve catches the spent buds while passing the infused liquid.

The recipe mixes the steeped lavender with measured amounts of honey and lemon juice. If you enjoy making homemade iced beverages, explore Minty Lavender Chamomile Tea or Rose Petal Iced Tea. Chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until cold before serving over ice.

  • 1/4 cup honey - or to taste
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil.

  • Strain the lavender-infused water through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the lavender buds.

  • Chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until cold.
  • Serve over ice.

Notes

This tea is best served chilled over ice. You can adjust the amount of honey to your preference. For a stronger lavender flavor, steep the lavender flowers for an additional minute or two.
Variations: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a citrusy note. You can also experiment with adding other complementary herbs like mint or chamomile.
Tips: Ensure you use culinary-grade lavender flowers. If you can’t find dried lavender, you can try using a very small amount of lavender extract, but be careful as it is potent.
