Peach Hibiscus Lavender Tea Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups of water
• 2 hibiscus tea bags
• 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
• 2 ripe peaches, sliced
• 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
• 2 cups cold water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh peach slices and lavender sprigs for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the hibiscus tea bags and dried lavender buds. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the pot from heat and allow the tea to steep for an additional 5 minutes to develop its aromatic floral notes.
3. Strain the tea to remove the tea bags and lavender buds, then pour the hot tea over the sliced peaches in a heat-safe bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
4. Add honey or agave syrup to the mixture while it’s still warm, stirring to dissolve smoothly.
5. Transfer the tea and peaches to a large pitcher. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir to combine.
6. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the Peach Hibiscus Lavender Tea over the ice, ensuring each glass gets some peach slices.
7. Garnish with additional fresh peach slices and lavender sprigs for an extra touch of elegance.
