Hello lovelies, this cherry-lavender iced tea is my favourite for warm summer evenings, when the day is winding down. It brings together two ingredients that help you relax: sour cherries, a natural source of melatonin, and lavender with its calming effect – and I simply love its scent. Combined with a mild herbal tea, it becomes a drink that smells of long evenings in the garden.
It couldn't be simpler to make: brew the tea, let it cool, sweeten with a little maple syrup if you like and add the sour cherries along with their juice. With the lavender, less is more – a few sprigs are plenty, or it quickly turns soapy. My children really loved this one too, by the way.
Enjoy this cherry-lavender iced tea with your feet up, just as it cools down outside. If you love fruity summer drinks, do try my Fruit Matcha Latte with Strawberry and Mango, my refreshing Peach-Melon Iced Tea and the creamy orange coconut ice cream.
