Transform simple ingredients into a serene Lavender Milk Tea. Earthy black tea and fragrant lavender steep to perfection, creating a deliciously soothing, creamy drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 black tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose leaf black tea)
  • 1 teaspoon culinary dried lavender
  • 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice, to taste)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk work well)
  • Ice cubes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags (or loose leaf tea) and the culinary dried lavender.
  2. Step 2: Cover the saucepan and let the tea and lavender steep for 5-7 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep for a full 7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Carefully strain the tea mixture into a heat-proof mug or glass, discarding the tea bags and lavender buds.
  4. Step 4: While the tea is still warm, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or your preferred sweetener) until it is fully dissolved. Let the tea cool down to room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for a colder drink.
  5. Step 5: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled lavender tea concentrate over the ice, then add 1/2 cup of your chosen milk. Stir gently and enjoy your soothing Lavender Milk Tea.

Notes

  • Store any leftover cooled tea concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days; add fresh milk and ice just before serving.
  • For a comforting warm treat, gently reheat the tea concentrate before adding warm milk instead of cold milk and ice; it's a delightful change of pace from the iced version.
  • Elevate your experience by garnishing with a delicate fresh lavender sprig or a slice of lemon, and feel free to adjust the sweetness and milk type to perfectly match your mood.
  • To achieve that perfect balance of floral and tea notes, ensure you use culinary-grade lavender and steep the mixture for no longer than 7 minutes; over-steeping can make the lavender flavor too intense or the tea bitter.
