Lavender and Ginger Faux Pas

The other night, in an effort at a break from the usual routine, I made an attempt at a lavender based pot of tea.  You must all realize by now that ginger is my go-to device, so naturally I utilized my fave digestive aid in this pot as well.  What I got was an unsavory looking pot of grayish tea with a bland flavor that left much to be desired.  Apparently lavender herbals are better suited to fill gaps in a blend than to carry the pot.

That being said, I have figured out my "tea for company" recipe and have been getting rave reviews on a particular jasmine ginger blend.  It incorporates a little chamomile as well, so serves well as an after dinner digestive and sleep aid.  It goes a little something like this:

3-4 slices of fresh ginger
approx 1 teaspoon chamomile
approx 2 tablespoons jasmine
squeeze and slice of lemon
