A calming, soothing, and restorative blend using three of my favorite herbs-lavender, mint, and lemon balm! Makes 2 lovely cups of tea or tisane. You can add a tea bag of your choice to make a stronger tea if you wish, and add another cup of water to make 3 cups of tea. Would be wonderful served with Homemade Lavender Honey. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon fresh lavender flowers |
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon balm leaves |
2 cups boiling water |
1 tea bag (optional) |
honey, for serving (see homemade lavender honey) |
Directions:
1. Rinse the inside of the teapot with hot water.
2. Place the loose herbs into the teapot, or into a tea ball. Add boiling water to the pot and steep for 5 minutes; strain.
3. Serve in warmed china cups, with honey to taste. Makes two cups of tea.
4. Note: If you would like a stronger tea, add a black tea bag or loose tea of your choice and you can add another cup of water to make 3 cups of tea.
