Lavender and lemon iced tea

 Only having tried lavender once in my life (my lavender and white chocolate yoghurt recipe) I thought it would be fun continuing to experiment with the flower.

The weather in London at the moment is ridiculous, just as it is in our summers back in Australia. It's been 30+ degrees and a million % humidity too so this iced tea is just the ticket.

Method - in a ceramic or glass container place 2 sprigs of lavender and a one cup of boiling water. Add 1 squeeze of lemon and a teaspoon of honey. Let diffuse for 5 minutes before putting into the fridge to cool down.

In a glass, layer ice and slices of lemon and add 2 fresh sprigs of lavender.

Take the tea out of the fridge once it is slightly cooler (10 minutes is fine). Remove used lavender sprigs. Pour tea into the glass with ice and add a slice of lemon onto rim of the glass to decorate.
