Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Dried culinary lavender
- 4 cups Water

- 3 tablespoons Honey or granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 pieces Black tea bags or herbal tea bags (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes (for iced version)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
- 2 sprigs Fresh lavender sprigs (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the dried lavender. If using tea bags for additional flavor, add them at this stage as well.
Cover the pan and steep the lavender (and tea bags, if used) for 5 minutes.
Strain the lavender and tea leaves (if applicable) using a fine mesh sieve into a large heatproof pitcher or bowl.
Stir in the lemon juice and sweetener (honey or sugar) until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
For the hot version, serve immediately in mugs, garnished with a lemon slice and a sprig of lavender if desired.
For the iced version, let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled. Serve over ice in glasses, garnished with lemon slices and optional lavender sprigs.
