A Fragrant Escape: Blackberry Lavender Tea's Allure

Blackberry lavender tea is a popular beverage, often enjoyed as a soothing afternoon treat. The tea is made with a combination of blackberry leaves, lavender, and natural blackberry and vanilla flavours. To make the tea, you can use an infuser basket or paper filter, filling it with one teaspoon of tea and 8oz of water heated to 160-170°F. The tea should then be steeped for around three minutes. Alternatively, you can add fresh or frozen blackberries and dried lavender to kombucha, leaving it to infuse for around three days. You can also make a blackberry and lavender syrup by boiling blackberries, sugar, lavender, and water, and then reducing the heat to medium-low for around ten minutes. This syrup can be mixed into cocktails or sparkling water for a refreshing drink.

How to make blackberry and lavender syrup

To make blackberry and lavender syrup, you will need blackberries, water, sugar, and lavender. You can use fresh or frozen blackberries, and dried lavender flowers.

First, combine the blackberries, water, sugar, and lavender in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. During this time, stir the mixture and crush the berries with a spoon to help them break up.

After 10 minutes, pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the blackberry seeds and any remaining solids. Discard these solids, and let the syrup cool.

At this point, you can store your syrup in an airtight container or jar in the fridge. It will keep for at least a week, and the syrup will thicken when chilled, so rewarm as necessary for serving.
