Description
We replaced regular sugar, normally found in sweet tea (that has no nutritional value) with a delicious and refreshing and most importantly, nutritional Lavender Honey
Ingredients
Lavender Honey Simple Syrup:
1 cup honey
1 cup water
2 T dried lavender
Iced Tea:
7 decaffeinated black tea bags
10 cups water
Optional: lemon wedges
Instructions
1.) Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Turn heat off and add the 7 tea bags and let steep for 7-10 minutes or until the tea is at your desired strength. Remove tea bags and let cool.
2.) To make the lavender honey simple syrup: add one cup of honey, one cup of water, and two tablespoons of dried lavender to a saucepan. Bring to a low boil and cook until the honey melts into the water. Turn heat off and let cool for 30 minutes.
3.) Once the simple syrup is cooled use a fine mesh strainer (and funnel if needed) and pour it into an airtight bottle of your choice. This will last in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.
4.) Once the tea has cooled, fill your glass with ice, add two tablespoons of the lavender honey simple syrup and then pour in the tea. Mix to combine and add a lemon wedge if you prefer. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
