Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring the water to a full boil. Add the Earl Grey tea bags and dried lavender buds. Steep for 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Remove the tea bags and strain out the lavender through a fine mesh sieve.

  3. 3

    Stir in the honey while the tea is still hot until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add the cold water and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Serve over ice with a lemon slice and a fresh lavender sprig if available.

Pro tip

Use culinary-grade lavender only — ornamental lavender can be bitter and may contain pesticides. Start with 2 tsp and adjust to taste; lavender can quickly overpower. A splash of lemon juice brightens the floral notes beautifully.
