- Use a strainer to remove all solids.The tea, fruits, and lavender should not be left in the drink more than 24 hours.

Notes
- To remove dirt and any bacteria, give the fruits and herbs under cool running water and rub them with your hands. Don’t use any soap.
- I recommend using filtered water when making any kind of drink. Better water means better tea.
- A little lavender goes a long way so don't add more than what's in this recipe.
