For Making Iced Version

- Your iced lavender milk tea is ready to be served!
Notes
- When making lavender milk tea, always utilize creamy milk. Whether it is plant-based, dairy, or non-dairy milk, select the one that has more of a fat content for a creamy, smooth & rich lavender tea.
- You can use any preferred type of milk, such as coconut milk, soy milk, oats milk, almond milk, regular milk, etc.
- You can use any sweetener of your choice, such as maple syrup, light agave nectar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or honey. Make sure to sweeten the tea while it is hot so that the sweetener dissolves well.
- You can swap the Earl Grey tea with any other tea of your choice, like black tea, green tea, white tea, or herbal tea.
- Add vanilla extract to the tea for that subtle hint of essence!
- To get a stronger flavour, let the tea steep for 1 or 2 minutes more.
- For garnishing, you can use both, closed lavender buds or fresh lavender flowers. You can even top it up with milk foam or whipped cream.
