 1 teaspoons fresh lavender flower or ½ teaspoons dried lavender flowers. 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves or 2 teaspoons dried mint. 1 cup boils water.
In a teapot, combine the lavender flowers and mint. Pour boiling water over the mixture; steep 5 minutes. Yield: 1 cup. Variation: for more interesting blends, add rosemary, lemon balm or lemon verbena, and rose geranium.
