Step-by-Step Brewing Perfection:

1. Brewing the Base:

Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. As the water begins to bubble, sprinkle in the dried lavender, allowing its purple hue and floral notes to release. Steep for 7 minutes, creating a lavender-infused water that forms the heart of this calming tea.

Close your eyes and take several deep breaths, inhaling the soothing aroma of lavender. Allow its natural calming properties to relieve stress and invoke a sense of peace. Inhale deeply as the fragrant lavender releases its calming essence, inviting relaxation and tranquility into your space, guiding you to a mindful state with its gentle floral notes.

2. Adding the Tea:

Once the lavender essence has been infused into the water, add your choice of black tea. Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently together for another 5 minutes. This combination brews into a rich, fragrant base, setting the perfect foundation for our Lavender Milk Tea.

Embrace the present moment as you steep the bold black tea leaves, allowing their robust aroma to awaken your senses and ground you in the richness of the now, a moment to savor amidst life’s hustle.

3. Sweeten and Strain:

After your tea has steeped, strain the mixture to remove the lavender and tea leaves, ensuring a smooth, clear brew. Stir in honey to sweeten the Lavender Milk Tea, relishing its sweet embrace and letting its natural sweetness remind you to savor the sweetness of life, infusing each sip with gratitude and joy.

4. Final Touch: Milk:

In a separate pot, gently heat the milk until it’s warm but not boiling. Gradually add the warmed milk to your strained lavender tea mixture, stirring constantly to blend the flavors beautifully.

As you pour creamy milk into your cup, feel its comforting warmth enveloping you like a hug, offering solace and nourishment to both body and soul, a reminder to cherish moments of self-care and contentment.
