Step 2

Bring the water to a boil in a tea kettle. Place the tea (or tea bags) in a 2 or 4-cup glass measuring cup (or a small pitcher). Pour the boiling water over the tea, and let it steep for 7 minutes. (If you're using the lavender, add it with the tea).

Step 5

Strain out the tea (or remove the tea bags), and whisk in the honey until fully dissolved.

Step 8

Place this tea and honey concentrate in the freezer for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can do this the night before and store it in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 11

Pour the milk and the vanilla extract into the chilled tea concentrate, and stir very well.

Step 14

Divide the ice between the serving glasses, and pour the tea into each glass. Serve immediately.
