Perfect Chamomile Lavender Tea Recipe
This lavender chamomile tea recipe creates a beautifully balanced cup that showcases both herbs while adding complementary flavors for the ultimate relaxation experience. If you don't have a steeper or infuser, you can also use a tea bag for convenience.
Ingredients
- Hot water
- Dried lavender buds
- Good Night Tea (premium chamomile blend)
- Bee Inspired Honey (Blueberry Honey recommended)
- Fresh lime juice
- Fresh mint or dried lavender for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Water: Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil, then let it cool for 1-2 minutes to reach the optimal temperature (around 200°F).
- Steep the Herbs: Place dried lavender and Good Night Tea in a tea steeper or infuser. Pour the hot water over the herbs, ensuring they're fully submerged.
- Time It Right: Allow the chamomile lavender tea to steep for exactly 10 minutes. This extended steeping time extracts maximum beneficial compounds without creating bitterness.
- Add Natural Sweeteners: Remove the steeper and stir in raw honey while the tea is still warm. The gentle heat helps the honey dissolve completely.
- Brighten with Citrus: Add fresh lime juice to enhance the floral notes and add a subtle citrus brightness.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh mint leaves or a few dried lavender buds for visual appeal and extra aroma.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the tea cool to your preferred drinking temperature, or serve over ice for a refreshing iced version.
