Notes

Use Fresh Lavender: For the best flavor, always opt for fresh lavender flowers, as they release a stronger, more aromatic essence.
Perfect Steeping Time: Steep your lavender-infused tea for 3-5 minutes to avoid it becoming too strong or bitter.
Balance Flavors: If the tea feels too floral, try adding a touch of honey or lemon to balance the flavors.
Pair with Light Snacks: Lavender tea pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cookies, scones, or fresh fruit.
Proper Storage: Store dried lavender in an airtight container, away from light, to keep its flavor fresh and potent.
