Lavender Lemon And Honey Tea From Wolds Way Lavender Farm Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the honey, lavender buds and 3 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve the honey. Set aside and allow to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Add the lavender sprigs and the lemon juice to a large measuring cup and muddle to release the lavender oils. Strain the honey-lavender water and combine it with the muddled lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes before removing the lavender sprigs. Divide the lemonade between two 2-cup to-go containers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Divide the vodka, if using, between the containers. Add some frozen grapes to keep the drink cold! Serve.

Steps:

• Combine the lavender heads, lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon) and the lemon peel in a small teapot (for 2 people) and then add boiling water.
• Allow to steep for 5 minutes before adding lavender honey to taste. Serve in warmed china cups.
• To serve cold: Make the tea as directed above. Allow to cool and serve with ice and a slice in a tall glass.

Steps:

• Pour the honey into a medium, heavy saucepan and place over medium heat. Be sure to use a large enough pot because the honey can easily boil over.
• Add in the dried lavender and let the honey come to a boil.
• Let the honey boil for about 5 minutes to let the lavender infuse, then remove from the heat.
• Pour the honey through a mesh sieve into a heat-proof container.
• Allow the honey to cool, uncovered, until room temperature, at least 1 hour.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add the lavender and lemon zest; cover and steep for 1 hour.
• Strain the lavender mixture into a 2-quart or larger pitcher. Add lemon juice, sugar and remaining 3 cups water; stir until sugar dissolves.
• Serve in tall, ice-filled glasses, garnished with lemon slices (or serve hot with honey, as you wish). Top up with additional water, if desired, or to taste.
