Lavender Garden


Lavender Garden Mint Tea

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water
to a boil over high heat.  Add 1 TBS. lavender buds and 1 large
handful of fresh mint leaves.  Let steep for 5 minutes.
Sweeten with hone if desired, and add a squeeze of lemon
juice.  Serve hot or refrigerate until cold and serve on ice with
fresh mint springs and lemon slices.

"My dear, have some lavender...
your spirits are quite down."
~John O'Keefe 1798
Lavender season is about past,
but thought you would enjoy one last glass
of icy, cold lemonade.
A salute to the end of summer.
Now onto Autumn/Fall with the Harvest Moon.
 Happy weekend, dear friends!
