We've been homeschooling and living on one income since 2001. This is a second career for me; I got started having children in my 30's, and quit a 13 year career as a case manager to homeschool and be a full-time mom. It's the hardest job you'll ever love. I have two children and a little saint in heaven. My beloved husband of 16 years is a professional firefighter, and part-time homeschool teacher.

Lavender Tea Recipe


This was a very fragrant tea! I added more lavender from my garden than was called for in the recipe. I also added some fresh lemon balm. I had to pass on the sugar.

Ingredients:

* 1-1 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms or 2 teaspoons fresh lavender blossoms
* 2 tablespoons earl grey loose tea
* heavy cream
* sugar cubes

See recipe here.

I enjoyed this tea with just the lemon balm and lavender for a calming bedtime tea.

Hey, Alexandria -

I have never had a lavendar tea before, but I have enjoyed lavendar lemonade. There are lavendar farms about two hours from here and last summer we visited them. They served the lemonade and lavenar ice cream! I never knew there were so many different uses for the herb.
