Ingredients
Scale
Tea Infusion
- 2 tbsp dried culinary lavender
- 2 cups water
Milk Base
- 2 cups milk (any kind)
Optional Additions
- Honey or sugar (to taste)
- Vanilla extract (for flavor enhancement)
Instructions
- Boil and steep lavender: Boil 2 cups of water in a small pot or kettle. Once boiling, add the dried lavender and remove from heat. Allow it to steep undisturbed for about 5 minutes to extract the fragrant floral flavors.
- Heat the milk: In another pot, gently warm the milk until it is steaming but not boiling to avoid curdling and maintain a creamy texture.
- Strain and combine: Strain the lavender infusion through a fine sieve into a pitcher, removing the lavender buds. Pour in the warmed milk slowly to blend the flavors.
- Sweeten and flavor: Stir in honey or sugar as desired to sweeten the tea, then add a splash of vanilla extract if using, for an enhanced taste profile.
- Serve: Enjoy the lavender milk tea hot, or let it cool and serve it over ice for a refreshing cold beverage.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to your preference with honey or sugar.
- Any type of milk works well, including dairy and plant-based options.
- Steeping time can be modified depending on how strong you want the lavender flavor.
- Vanilla extract is optional but adds a pleasant depth to the flavor.
- Use culinary-grade lavender to ensure safety and best taste.
