Method

01

Steep the lavender

Bring the water just to a boil, then pour over the culinary lavender in a teapot or mug. Cover and steep 4 to 5 minutes — longer can taste soapy.

02

Sweeten gently

Strain out the lavender buds. Stir in honey while the tea is warm so it melts. Add lemon juice if you want a brighter sip.

03

Serve cozy

Pour into a favorite mug. Garnish with a lemon wheel or a tiny lavender sprig if you like. Sip slowly while the rain taps the window.
