Step 1

Place dried lavender flowers into a loose tea strainer, or directly into a teapot.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil. I like to use an electric kettle for this, but you can simply heat in a small saucepan on the stove. Pour the hot water over the lavender flowers and cover the pot.

Step 3

Let steep for about 5-10 minutes, until it's reached your desired strength.

Step 4

Strain the lavender tea through a fine mesh sieve if the flowers were directly in the pot, or remove the strainer if the flowers were in a strainer ball or basket.

Step 5

Serve right away, adding lemon juice and honey to taste, if desired.
