Lavender Black Tea
submitted almost 10 years ago by acorpcop

Something I've fiddled around for a while now. Throwing this out there. Hope you enjoy is as much as I have been. Good after overnight but kinda amazeballs after a good steep (creams & the touch of coconut really come after a week or two). Light creams give body. Black tea as HIC noted, works better with a scratchy nic. The floral lavender goes well with the tannic/herbalness of the tea. Lemon goes with tea and brightens up the mix. A tiny touch of honey wouldn't be out of place.

Feedback appreciated.

Looks really tasty. Could even do a earl grey version with some cardamom in there.

Bergamot. Earl Grey is bergamot orange. You could swap out the lemon for a small amount of bergamot. Cardamom is partially what is in chai. This is kind of like a Lady Grey tea (Twinnings uses cornflower, other brands use lavender in Lady Grey tea) which has smaller amounts of bergamot along with lemon and regular orange.

You are right, that was my mistake. Thanks for clarifying.

Bergamot is so tasty and I love Earl Grey and Lady Grey.
