Brew your tea (Earl Grey or green tea work best)
Add a small pinch of dried lavender while it’s hot (think ⅛ teaspoon or a few buds)
Let it steep 2–4 minutes max, then strain
Let the tea cool
Build the drink with ice, ½ cup lavender-infused tea, ½ cup tonic water, and a squeeze of lemon
Optional: add a small sprig of mint or a thin lemon peel twist
