Ingredients & Substitutions
Dried culinary lavender can be a bit tricky to find, but most health food stores or online shops carry it. If you can't find it, feel free to skip it or infuse the tea with other herbs like mint or chamomile. Coconut milk adds a lovely creaminess, but you can use almond milk or oat milk if you prefer.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep some of this iced tea in the fridge for a quick afternoon refreshment—it's so soothing!
- •If you want to make it more indulgent, try adding a splash of vanilla extract.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll mix in a handful of fresh berries for a fruity twist—blueberries work wonderfully!
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a hint of fresh ginger for a spicy kick!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover iced tea in an airtight container in the fridge. Just remember to give it a little stir before serving, as the coconut milk can settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh lavender instead of dried?
You can, but be cautious since fresh lavender can be a bit stronger. Start with a teaspoon or two and taste as you go.
How long does this iced tea stay fresh?
In the fridge, it’ll last about 3-5 days. Just give it a stir before serving as the coconut milk can separate.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by boiling 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Once it’s bubbling, remove it from the heat.
- 2
Add the dried culinary lavender to the hot water and cover the saucepan. Let it steep for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor!
- 3
After steeping, strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the lavender buds.
- 4
Stir in the coconut sugar while the tea is still warm. It dissolves better that way! Taste it and adjust the sweetness if you like.
- 5
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
- 6
To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over. Add the coconut milk for a creamy finish and stir gently.

Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy!
