Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:

  • Main Drink:
    • 4 cups of water
    • 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds
    • Juice of 3 large oranges
    • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
    • Ice cubes
  • Garnish (optional):
    • Orange slices
    • Fresh lavender sprigs
Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil. Add the dried lavender buds, then remove the saucepan from heat. Let the lavender steep for 5 minutes, allowing the floral aroma to infuse the water.
  2. Strain the lavender-infused water into a large pitcher, discarding the lavender buds.
  3. Stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice and honey (or agave syrup), mixing until the sweetener dissolves completely. Relish in the blend of the tangy aroma of citrus and soothing hints of lavender.
  4. Fill your favorite glasses with ice cubes and pour the tea over the ice. This helps to quickly cool the drink, making it refreshingly crisp.
  5. Garnish with orange slices and fresh lavender sprigs for an extra touch of elegance.
Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • If you don’t have access to fresh oranges, you can use 100% pure orange juice. Ensure it has no added sugars for the best flavor.
  • For a natural sweetener, replace honey with pomegranate juice.
  • To make it an extra special treat during a family night, serve in chilled glasses and add a beautiful lavender sprig for a sophisticated touch.
Storage and Substitutions:

  • You can refrigerate the tea base (without ice) for up to 2 days in an airtight container. When ready to serve, stir well and pour over fresh ice.
  • If lavender isn’t available, chamomile flowers can make an excellent substitute, offering a calming effect with each sip.
Pairings and Complements:

This tea pairs wonderfully with light, citrusy desserts like lemon bars or a fruit tart. For a savory complement, try it with a simple cheese platter featuring mild cheeses, fresh fruits, and crackers. These pairings elevate your drinks to a delightful, full-fledged experience.
