LAVENDER TEA ON ICE: The lavender plant is native to North and East Africa, the
Mediterranean,
Southern Europe, India and Arabia, but is also now cultivated and grown
in such places as the United States and Japan. Lavender grows best at
sites that are dry, and are exposed to good sunlight.
The
beneficial constituents of lavender include flavonoids, tannins,
courmarines, and essential oil containing camphor, geraniol and
linalool.
To make lavender tea, simply infuse a handful of
dried lavender blossoms in a pot of boiling water. Let the tea steep for
about 7 to 10 minutes. Then strain and enjoy.
The following are the health benefits attributed to lavender tea:
