Ingredients

2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender buds or 1 tablespoon fresh lavender buds
1 teaspoon dried crushed white sage or 2–3 fresh white sage leaves
8 ounces water
Optional: Honey lemon wedge

Instructions

Bring water to a near boil (about 200°F) using a stovetop or microwave.
Place lavender and sage in a tea infuser or directly into a heat-safe cup. Pour hot water over the herbs and cover the cup with a saucer to trap steam and preserve essential oils. Steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove infuser or strain herbs. Sweeten with honey or add lemon, if desired.

Notes

Be sure to use culinary-grade lavender and sage only.

Iced Version: Allow to cool to room temperature, then pour over ice.

Stronger Flavor: Increase steeping time up to 15 minutes for a stronger brew

White sage (Salvia apiana) can be strong and slightly bitter. Some people may prefer common culinary sage (Salvia officinalis) as a substitute.
