Ingredients
  

4 cups water, divided

2 tablespoons dried lavender buds

4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

4 black tea bags (or 4 teaspoons loose leaf black tea)

1/2 cup honey (or to taste)

Juice of 1 fresh lemon

Fresh peach slices and lavender sprigs, for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Infuse the Lavender: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and immediately add the dried lavender buds. Cover the saucepan and allow the lavender to steep for 10-15 minutes to create a fragrant infusion.

    Prepare the Peach Tea: In a separate saucepan, bring the remaining 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, take it off the heat and add the black tea bags or loose leaf tea. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bags or strain the loose leaf tea to ensure a smooth blend.

      Combine & Sweeten: Carefully strain the lavender infusion into the saucepan containing the brewed black tea. As the mixture is still warm, stir in the honey, mixing well until it is fully dissolved. Allow the combined tea to cool slightly at room temperature.

        Incorporate the Peaches: Once the tea mixture is warm but no longer hot, add in the sliced peaches and the lemon juice. Using a fork, mash the peaches gently to release some of their juice into the mixture for added flavor. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature.

          Chill the Tea: After reaching room temperature, transfer the tea mixture into a large pitcher. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely cold and refreshing.

            Serve: When you’re ready to serve, fill tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled lavender peach tea over the ice, allowing it to create a beautiful frosty effect. For an elegant finishing touch, garnish each glass with fresh peach slices and a delicate sprig of lavender.

              Enjoy: Sit back, relax, and let the soothing flavors of your Iced Lavender Peach Tea blissfully refresh you!
