Ingredients
To make this soothing and flavorful Blueberry Lavender Tea, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons of loose black tea (or 2 black tea bags)
- 1 tablespoon of Monin Blueberry Concentrated Flavor

Instructions
1. Boil The Water
First, fill a kettle or pot with two cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil.
2. Brew The Black Tea
Put the tea bags or loose black tea in a teapot. After adding the hot water, steep the tea for three to five minutes. The tea will be stronger the longer it is steeped.

Tips And Variations
- Make It Iced: Want a refreshing summer version? Let the tea cool and then serve it over ice with a few frozen blueberries for an extra chill factor.
- Herbal Twist: Swap out the black tea for chamomile or green tea if you want a lighter, caffeine-free version. Lavender and blueberries pair beautifully with both!
- Storage Tip: If you have leftovers, store the tea in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just make sure to strain out any loose leaves or garnishes before chilling.
How Can I Make Lavender Tea?
To create lavender tea on your own, all you need to do is steep dried lavender buds in boiling water for approximately five minutes.
You can enjoy it plain or mix in other herbs like chamomile or mint for added flavor. Lavender is a popular choice for bedtime tea blends because of its relaxing qualities!
Why Is It Called Blueberry Tea?
The term “blueberry tea” usually refers to a fruity blend where blueberries (or blueberry flavor) are the star ingredient.
It’s popular because of the natural sweetness blueberries add without needing extra sugar. Plus, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, making this tea a flavorful and healthy option!
How Long To Infuse Lavender Tea?
I advise steeping lavender tea for approximately five minutes because too much steeping can result in a quite strong flavor.
Any longer, and the floral notes may become too intense, which could overpower the other flavors in your tea.
Is Blueberry Lavender Chamomile A Good Drink?
Absolutely! Combining blueberries, lavender, and chamomile creates a wonderfully calming and slightly sweet tea.
Chamomile’s natural sleep-inducing properties pair beautifully with the subtle sweetness of blueberries and the floral scent of lavender. It’s an ideal drink before bedtime or when you just need to unwind.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Blueberry Lavender Tea with light, fruity snacks like lemon cookies or blueberry scones to complement the tea’s sweet, tangy flavor.
It also pairs well with a cheese platter, especially with creamy cheeses like brie or goat cheese.
