Lavender Tea Recipe





This is a lavender tea recipe. Yes, you read this correctly!

You may have never thought before of lavender flowers as being edible...yet, they are! You certainly can use fresh flowers but if they are hard to come by, the dried flowers will work just fine for this recipe. I personally do use the dried. I would only caution you to buy organic flowers free of pesticides.

This tea is very delicate, refreshing and fragrant. It is good hot or cold.

You may find it interesting to discover that lavender flowers not only smell wonderful but they are also good for you. Lavender flowers have many medicinal properties, they are:

  • Calming

  • Anti-depressant

  • Cooling - which make it a great summer beverage

And these are just a few, as its list of medicinal benefits is rather lengthy. They are also good for headaches as well and various other ailments.

After trying this tea, please come back and leave your review.

Note: If you just want a lavender herbal tea without the tea, you can replace the tea with more lavender flowers or some chamomile flowers for a really relaxing drink.
