Ingredients

1 tbsp loose lavender tea buds or flowers culinary grade
½ cup hot water
1 cup vegan milk
maple syrup or other sweetener to taste

Instructions

Steep the lavender buds in the hot water for about 5 minutes.
While the tea steeps, warm the milk in a small sauce pan until just about to boil (watch carefully so it does not overflow!). Then, strain the lavender (use a colander or a tea infuser basket) and pour the warm milk over the strained tea in a mug.
Add the sweetener to taste, stir and enjoy!

Notes

If you want to make a lavender tea latte instead, then you can froth the warm milk before pouring over the tea.
If you want to add caffeine to your tea, then steep one pouch of black tea along with the lavender leaf.
Transform your drink into an iced milk tea: fill a glass with iced cubes and add the steeped tea and cold milk. Add sweetener and stir. Add crushed blueberries if desired.
