Creating your own syrup is easier than you may think! This recipe includes a few simple ingredients that you’ll be able to customize for your own palette.
What Type Of Tea To Use
This recipe calls for lavender and camomile tea bags . If you prefer you can use loose leaf lavender and camomile with a steeping accessory instead.
Health Benefits
Ginger and lavender have many health benefits such as treating inflammation, nausea and upset stomachs. In some cases, lavender teas can aid headaches and pain sensitivities in the body as well as giving you a better night’s sleep. This is one syrup mix that you can feel good about.
