How to make Lavender Tea
Making your own lavender tea is fairly easy:
- Boil 8 oz. of water.
- Place 4 tsp. of fresh lavender buds into a tea ball or empty tea bag.
- Place the tea ball and water into a teacup.
- Let steep for 10 minutes.
Try growing some in your garden and brewing yourself a cup before bedtime for a restful sleep. If fresh lavender buds aren’t available to you, dried lavender buds also work.
Note: Do not ever try to make lavender tea with essential oil. This can be extremely dangerous.
